It's "ahn-dooey".

Andouille.

EVERY time I bring some home I say "Hey, I got some andooey."
And she says "It's AHNdooey".
And she's right.
And why can't I ever remember?
Damn Cajun coon-asses.
:-(

1. I prefer the pronunciation "ahn-dwee"

But then, I don't know cajun. I'm feeling pretty good any time I get a French word pronounced correctly, let alone manage to say in the garbled pigeon of cajun.

2. Yeah, Cajun 'French' is a little different from Parisienne.
However, when I met Miz t.'s grandmere (who lived waaayyy in the boonies of southwest LA) I found we could communicate better in French than in English. And my French wasn't all that good.

5. I pronounce it "Ahn-doo-Wee".
That's probably close enough, I suppose.
