Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) A Portuguese garlic and paprika seasoned smoke cured pork sausage.
Heritage Foods now offers linguiça from the sausage maker the Mayor, in Richmond, Va. The signature Portuguese sausage harbors the paprika spice of chorizo but with the fire dampened, and a finer texture, but it brings on the garlic like kielbasa.
