I had a friend admit to me recently that he had never heard of Linguica until he moved to California. He even pronounced it LIN-GOO-KA for the longest time. It's properly pronounced LIN-GWEE-SA. It's a spicy Portuguese sausage that is often used in sandwiches, rice pilaf and on pizza in California. I took this photo at the Stanislaus County Fair because the organization serving the Portuguese delicacy is an Italian-American-Catholic organization known as the Knights of Columbus. Yet another great example of how one American group adopted something from another culture.
