Yes, but only once. Possibly the most awful taste of my experience.

I tried twice. I couldn't believe the first , and fought my way through the second because I had a cold. The kitchen staff were peering round the door nudging each other and giggling.

Andouilette is an acquired taste, but once you've acquired it, it is delicious. Grilled, with green beans. Excellent.
Should also have mentioned boudin noir (black puddin' without the lumps of fat), and boudin creole (ditto, but with more than a hint of chili).
Then there's the various sauces for meats, chasseur, forestiere, etc.
WTF do I live in the UK?

Seriously. Take sandwiches from UK. When you run out, make your own sandwiches from on-board supplies using French bread. The UK has the best, cleanest, most practical, and variable food in the world. Our priorities of eating to live rather than living to eat gave us the time and the energy to rule the world. To travel to France just to eat will give the French an inflated opinion of their worth. Remember, any race that eats frogs and snails had better employ some good cooks. QED My considered opinion.

Ah yes. I remember a letter in the Daily Mirror from a couple about to visit France. They had heard all about French bread going stale in less than a day, so they were taking ten days supply of their favourite sliced and wrapped English white bread.

If it was their favourite bread they, by definition, made the right call. Trying to improve on perfection is vain. Its why the world is in such a mess.

I think the smell as it bursts onto your plate will put most people off, its is the one thing in 5 years of living and working in France that I did not finish when it was served to me.
