linguica

Spicy pork link

Linguiça is a Portuguese pork sausage seasoned with garlic and paprika, giving it a smoky, slightly spicy flavor.

Common in Portuguese and Brazilian cooking, it appears in soups, stews, and grilled dishes.

In American cuisine, it's especially associated with Portuguese communities in New England and California: linguiça and eggs for breakfast, a linguiça sandwich from the food truck.
