Linguiça (ling-GWEE-sah) or linguica is a form of
Portuguese pork sausage seasoned with
onions,
garlic, and
paprika. It is similar in taste to
chouriço; however, it has usually been spiced much more mildly than chouriço. Often, linguiça is much thinner than chouriço, and it is usually roasted over natural charcoal and served in thick slices with bread. Outside of
Portugal and
Brazil, linguiça is also popular in
New England and
Hawaii, where it is often simply called "Portuguese sausage." It is typically sliced before being braised or grilled. In Hawaii,
McDonald's restaurants serve breakfasts featuring Portuguese sausage -- a regional variant of its usual menu.
