The fivefold repetition of the A has nothing to do with an applied stutter. The name AAAAA was imagined in echo of a burst of laughter from Henry Clos-Jouve punctuating the meetings: “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! »

AAAAA: The Friendly Association of Authentic Andouillette Andouillette Lovers (AAAAA), also known as 5 A, brings together professionals from the food trades and the world of the table (manufacturers, restaurateurs, but above all food critics and columnists , active or retired).
Devoid of any profit, this association honors the andouillette usually considered as traditional (in particular by the Code of the uses of charcuterie), often called authentic.

*These five friends:
- Francis Amunatéguy, the initiator,
- Robert Courtine, famous columnist for the daily "Le Monde",
- Christian Guy, journalist for the daily newspaper "l'Aurore",
- Henry Clos-Jouve, the Lyonnais,
- Paul de Montaignac.
