I've got a recipe that calls for Portuguese smoked sausage aka Linguica but I can't source that so what's a good substitute that I could find in America? Or if anybody could describe it that would be very nice as well. I was just going to get a hillshire farms one if I can't get a recommendation

Which is trash. You can buy linguica in America tho. I do it all the time. You can also buy Spanish chorizo. Even if it's not on Google I know for a fact a few California based companies sell on Amazon.

See if you can find some Mexican longaniza. It's the closest thing to Spanish/Portuguese sausage that I've been able to find in an American grocery store.

In what flyover shithole do you live where you can't find Linguica? Even if you don't have a local portuguese market (or decent size population in my case) you can find it in any shitty super market.

Any kind of smoked sausage with paprika and garlic in it. You could probably get a smoked garlic sausage without paprika and just add more paprika powder to the recipe. If you can't find anything like that, you're kinda out of luck.

But what are you making?

i live in an old fishing village in massachusetts and linguica is king. There are a million varieties, but pretty much whatever spicy pork sausage you can find will do. chorizo is a totally adequate substitute.

Brazilian here, linguiça is a very common ingredient in Brazil and there are tons of variations of it. With that said, why don't you make your own?

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but I'm 2nding your suggestion of making your own sausage. I think a lot of people are intimidated by it and think it must be some big complicated difficult process, but most sausages are actually really simple to make.

I highly recommend pic related if anyone is interested in getting into sausage making.

You don't have to buy some overpriced book by a meme chef. This site has more than enough accurate information and authentic recipes.

Overpriced? I found that book to be fantastic value for money, which is why I recommended it.

But sure, you can find info online as well. The other reason I suggested the book is because it avoids the classic noob cooking internet problem: learning to separate the BS from the good info online.

>Many variations
Well yeah but they all have those things and maybe some extra proprietary seasoning but garlic and wine flavored pork is the main flavor. Other members of my family make it and give it to me
