The only sensible thing to spread on andouillettes is that Japanese horseradish that Ernie was talking about.  Put another way, it will numb your tongue completely so that you can neither taste the andouillettes nor the marmite Stick out tongue [:P]

Wasabe to you too.

I tried andouillettes once - IMHO the best place for them is on A.N. Other's plate.

Thank you, Iceni.  I couldn't for the life of me think of the word "wasabe".  How the little grey cells let one down with increasing frequency!

I have the same prob with the grey cell but luckily not with my typing finger. Googling "Japanese horseradish" generates 112,000 entries seemingly spelt "wasabi" - doubtless someone will explain whether "e" or "i".

I think it is spelt with an 'i' as the plant it comes from is the Wasabia japonica.

Have a look at www.wasabia.com if you have nothing better to do........

BTW.  Marmite is one of the most wonderful foods known to man Stick out tongue [:P]

Just I was reading this I realised I am drinking hot marmite right now.  Brings back memories of swimming baths when I was a child, yummie.  Only then we had a wagon wheel to dip into it.  Yummie
