He was led to the trade by the loveliest path: that of love. He married the beautiful girl, he married the charcuterie, and he almost married Bobosse, his father-in-law. Bobosse junior has an anvil-lifting physique, sturdy as 15 andouillettes, following Bobosse’s style, always ready for a day of charcuterie, the boot of the Estafette filled with good things.
King of the andouillette tirée à la ficelle, Bobosse had the misfortune one day to be visited by mad cow disease, so mad that he was completely forbidden to use any calf’s ruffle in the manufacture of his andouillettes. What to do? Devil take the mad cow – bring on the savoir-faire. Pig’s tripe replaced the calf’s ruffle and the recipe was changed somewhat, but the technique that’s so essential to making andouillette was the same. What magic to see these piles of mustard-sweating chitterlings rolled around expert fingers, disappear into an intestinal sock and then finally express themselves as a genuine andouillette.
