Is this really the kind of Portuguese sausage made by the Portuguese?

This sausage tastes nothing like real Portuguese sausage. About twenty years ago you could actually buy authentic tasting Portuguese sausage from this company. Apparently the original owners are either dead or the company has been sold to somebody else because these sausages literally taste like hot dogs with a little paprika added. The closest thing I can find for a sausage that tastes like real Portuguese Linguica is Spanish Chorizo imported from Spain (the Palacios brand is excellent) so I would suggest buying that if you don't like the taste of hot dogs. I will never buy another Silva product again.

I just bought a pack for $3.88 at Winco why is this so much?

Very few grocery stores stock the 'HOT' version so I assume this seller is using good old supply and demand pricing. I was half expecting it might be gold plated! Bottom line though... it's still super delicious.

Does this item contain sodium nitrite or nitrate?

Yes, sodium nitrate is the last ingredient listed on the package.

Yes, 4 packages of 2 Linguicia in each package. I was raised on Silva's in California! This is the best!

Tastes NOTHING like real Portuguese Linguica - More like a hot dog with a little paprika

Awful. If I wanted a hot dog with a little paprika I would but one. There should be a law against passing off hot dogs as Portuguese sausage. The closest thing I can find for a sausage that tastes like real Portuguese Linguica is Spanish Chorizo imported from Spain (the Palacios brand is excellent) so I would suggest buying that if you don't like the taste of hot dogs.

Outrageously overpriced!

This is great stuff, maybe not as good as Gaspar's but it's decent. The problem is the ripoff price. It retails for <$5/package locally. $15/pkg is totally uncalled for.
