The picture in the article looks more like a Salami than a Linguiça. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.47.199.178 (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

San Joaquin Valley
I, the humble Obbop, hereby proclaims with awesome assuredness that another geographical area where linguica is popular is the San Joaquin Valley area of central California. Many Portuguese settled in the area with many becoming farmers and/or dairy operators. Evidence of their food preferences is evidenced by how many area pizza outlets in the area offer pizza with linguica as a topping. Good stuff!!!!Obbop (talk) 03:07, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I never realized how much I would miss Linguica until I moved to Tennessee; Pizza with Linguica everywhere in the San Joaquin valley, on a bun at the Hanford flea market, very good.Paganize (talk) 19:35, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Feijoada isn't a portuguese dish, it's a BRAZILIAN one.

Correct this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.101.75.113 (talk) 07:45, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hawaii
Portuguese Sausage is served everywhere in Hawaii. McDonalds only stands out because they don't usually vary their menu between locations, not because they're the only place that serves it.

Popular in Seattle?
I was surprised to see this page say that linguiça is "popular" in Seattle. I don't think this is true and should be removed. I've lived in Seattle my whole life (50+ years). Growing up, we occasionally had linguiça when my grandparents (both of whom were part Portuguese) brought it up from the Bay Area, where there are many makers of linguiça and where you can find it on the menu in many restaurants (eggs and linguiça, linguiça as a pizza topping, etc.). But it was nowhere to be found in Seattle except, as we eventually discovered, at Uwajimaya, an Asian grocery store in Chinatown. Uwajimaya is still the only place where I regularly see linguiça (though a few high-end grocery stores carry it), and most of the brands come from Hawaii or California.

Calling it "popular" in Seattle is a mischaracterization, and should be removed unless authoritative evidence can be offered.

At most it would be accurate to say that linguiça is "available" in Seattle, but I don't think that qualifies as noteworthy by Wikipedia standards, since one can find just about any exotic ethnic food in a specialty store somewhere in any major metropolitan city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:E03:EBC0:A1D1:E568:6A4A:960E (talk) 04:02, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Francesinha
"Linguiça is also used in francesinha, a traditional Portuguese dish, from Porto. The linguiça is incorporated in its sauce, giving it a distinct flavor." Can anyone suggest a source to back up the claim that linguiça is typically included in the francesinha sauce? (Tough, I know, when most recipes are secret!). I don't think it's normally included in the sauce recipes I've seen, and I think the recipe linked here only includes the linguiça in the francesinha not the sauce! Does someone want to remove the second sentence?2A0C:B381:200:AB00:9414:B9FD:80F0:DA96 (talk) 22:44, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
