Just had to chime in on this topic. Cajun/Creole is one of my great obsessions. I have ate many-a-meal in New Orleans, and finding some of those ingredients outside of Louisiana is a serious exercise in patience. Pretty much, you gotta make them.
One of the hall-marks of Andouille is the grind of the meat. You gotta have those chunks in there. I have been wanting to try the NOLA recipe for quite a while now. Now I really want to.
In my searching for great Andouille, I did run across "Leidy" brand. I purchased it from RD. I was skeptical at first, but it is pretty darn tasty. You might try looking for it.
