652329 Mon Sep 14 13:14:54 -0700 2009 10 12 Boston Area 0 5029299 Anyone have any favorite places to get good quality andouille? I've been scouring at farmers markets (Coolidge, Central, Cambridgeport) and haven't found anything. I'm not too keen on the brands of andoullie that Whole Foods (River St, Brighton) carries. Any ideas? I haven't tried Savenor's just yet, but if anyone has information on what they have, i'm all ears.

I have never tried their sausages but people rave about Karl's Smokehouse on RT 1 North of Boston (it may be in Saugus...not sure). Mon Sep 14 13:20:26 -0700 2009 5029299 110819 bakerboyz 2 5029514 karl's Sausage Kitchen is on Route 1 North in Saugus. Great place for naturally cured smoke meats. Mon Sep 14 14:30:58 -0700 2009 5029314 12990 Northender 3 5029823 Second Karl's. Really good. Mon Sep 14 16:56:49 -0700 2009 5029514 77061 bear 4 5031297 I have to thrid Karl's, not just for their andouille but for everything there. Do call ahead to make sure they have the andouille or what day they make it. I'm sure they'd freeze some for you if you asked, they are terribly nice.

To my palate I find they seemed undercooked and mentioned it to Karl's, but he claimed that the sausages were cooked through. (I cooked them more, the paste set firmly and they were delicious.) Tue Sep 15 13:30:53 -0700 2009 5031297 102066 almansa 5 5032152 Formaggio used to carry Nodine's smokehouse andouille out of Goshen/Torrington, CT. I always liked those, but I don't know if they still do. Tue Sep 15 13:32:08 -0700 2009 5031297 102066 almansa 1 5029592 If you are up for a drive, Fowles market in Newburyport has great andouille. They make all their own sausage. Be sure to call ahead as their day to day selection varies.

I need to get to Karl's and Fowles to check out the potential locally-made sources. Tue Sep 15 07:00:32 -0700 2009 5029961 10399 rlh 2 5031274 Thanks for the D'artagnan' tip. Russo's is on my radar screen for this weekend. Tue Sep 15 08:49:39 -0700 2009 5029961 135674 nathanP
