- andouôle = andouille (type of sausage)
- saûciche = sausage (for grilling/frying)
- saûcichon = sausage (dried/smoked for slicing etc)
saûcichon is apparently borrowed and adapted from French; such sausages were imported and bought in Town, rather than produced in the Jersey countryside. If there had been a tradition of production of such sausages, it appears to have died out by the C19th.
Another sausage product is:
boudîn = black pudding (primary meaning is intestine, hence the expression un Jèrriais n'est janmais battu d'vant tch'i' n'porte ses boudîns à sa braichie = a Jerseyman is never beaten until he carries his intestines in his arms)
Some andouille-related idioms:
- i' s'en fut du boudîn d'andouôles = he/it went from bad to worse
- laîssi tout aller en boudîn d'andouôles = let everything go to the devil
