My go to store bought is Conecuh, I like the smaller profile and it browns really good. My favorite from a Butcher is Ken's Deer Butcher Shop when he sells his pork sausage in the off season.

My mom get andouille for me from some guy who makes it in his back yard in Vacherie. If I'm out of the I use Verons Supermarket Andouille. If I have to buy store bought andouille I use Verons.

I’m also like verons


Gotta get it from Veron Market in Lutcher, La. It's way better than the veron in Rouses. The original recipe is only available in Lutcher.

This may be a dumb question, but do they sell this brand of sausage in Louisiana?

I get the hate for it but it works good in some situations for me. And I'll take shite for using it, but hillshire and manda are what I use in gumbo.

If I am using anything besides those I will use Chris' Specialty Meats andouille.

My favorite sausage on earth is Vine's smoked sausage. It does not work well in a gumbo. I only eat it grilled or baked with hot sauce.

Andouille. On the Northshore you can find Best Stop in Rouses, Bergeron's in Covington, Ronnie's in Hammond and Juneau's southwest of Franklinton in the middle of nowhere.

I make my own andouille, so that is what I use. Before that, I'd opt for andouille from Bailey's in Laplace and if I didn't have that, I'd go with your basic Savoie's smoke sausage in a pinch.

Anything seems to be acceptable. I’ve seen people on here use little pieces of pepperoni.

Had a wild hair and used Conectuh last gumbo. I was surprised.


The hickory smoked has GREAT flavor and can really make a chicken and sausage gumbo sing. But it’s so greasy that it’s not worth eating. I feel like shite every time I eat conecuh sausage.

They sell Conecuh at most grocery stores I have been to in Louisiana. I think it's fine on it's own, but personally don't like the flavor profile in a cajun dish, it's too smoke forward.

OP, for a gumbo savoies, rabideauxs, or richards are good. Just a personal preference, but the only times for a 'one pot dish' I am super picky on sausage is for jambalaya, white/red beans, in which case I will typically go to a local butcher shop.
