Andouillette de Troyes
Andouillette de Troyes stands out for how it is made: the chitterlings are cut into lengthways strips then assembled by hand, whereas an ordinary andouillette may be minced. This work gives it its characteristic fibrous texture.

Tips
It is slightly richer than an ordinary andouillette. 256 kcal against 225 for a standard andouillette, with more protein and iron. Working in strips retains more substance.
An andouillette weighs 150 g: count 384 kcal. Grill it with no added fat (it releases enough of its own), with a mustard sauce rather than a cream one.
310 mg of cholesterol, an offal-level figure. Its influence on blood cholesterol is small, but the number places the product: it is tripe, not muscle.
It counts towards the processed meat guideline. 150 g a week, all products combined: one andouillette de Troyes uses it up.
Gentle heat, and no pricking. Twenty minutes over a medium heat, turned often. Over a high heat, the casing bursts and it empties out.
