I now live in GA I can find linguica occasionally. My husband and I decided to try to make some. We found a recipe and tried it today, not really the same but similar. It will be good for sauce or soup. Sara your recipe will be the next we try. The sausage we just made had oregano that isn't a taste that in in the sausage I am used to.
