I still have no clue how you cut sausage. Can't you just tell us?

Small enough so more than just the sausage fits on the spoon.

I see so many pictures here of dishes where the sausage is twice the size of the spoon you would be eating with.

Do you need a flow chart as well?

So you are saying that the proper way to cut sausage/andouille for gumbo is to dice it?

I thin slice my sausage, the Andouille is thicker, I cut it in half, then thin slice it. I put Tasso in the food processor, I like small chunks. The flavor and smoke marinating throughout the Gumbo!

Pretty sure Verons (at least the actual grocery store in Lutcher) uses a casing that needs to be removed


Summer sausage? Can't be cajun sausage.

Full moons look nice, but for gumbo, I do half moons for this reason. Otherwise, I have to try to cut the sausage in half with my spoon to get more than a big piece of sausage in a bite.

How small are your spoons homie? I don't think I've ever had this problem

Completely agree, though not because of fitting the sausage on a spoon.

I quarter a link longways then dice. Not only do you get better distribution throughout your dish, but if you choose to fry the the diced sausage before adding it to the dish, you have more sausage surface getting a nice, golden browning.

Every time, but I grill it.

Them crawfish-shakers out west steam or boil their boudin, I dunno.

The casing should be crisp, not gummy.

Ok - if it’s in a normal sized sausage casing, no need to remove.

But if it’s the large size Andouille then that it synthetic casing and should be removed before cooking.

Veron sells both types of Andouille in many of the grocery stores in South Louisiana. I bought some of the Best Stop large andouille to try out yesterday for red beans. It was ok, but I prefer Veron (both the River Parish foods brand - Formerly Veron Provision Co - as well as the Veron Supermarket stuff that you can only get at the store in Lutcher).
