your source for sausages, gastronomy in portugal

The sausages from Portugal are varied in their consistency and also vary from regional to region. They play a large part in adding flavour to the excellent Portuguese cuisine. Keeping pigs for the rural population to provide food for the table throughout the year has always been a normal custom. The yearly pig-killing three day event has a social and economic significance with an excuse for a family party! The industrialization of sausages has brought most examples of the items to the urban masses.

The regulations that are being imposed by the EU on this subject will have considerable ill effect on the home produced products created by the rural population. Below are some of the main names of sausages and the area or town in which they are made.
