Never had it to my knowledge. Here's an online source or two if that helps.

Anyone can call Ben E Keith Foods and pick product up at thier will-call area. Tell them exactly what you want...pretty simple.

If you don't find it locally, it is also spelled linguica and it is a Portuguese sausage. It is pronounced the same, the "c" has an "s" sound. I first ate it when there were still Shakey's pizza parlors and it was called Portuguese linguica. I have purchased it online but not recently.

I use to buy it all the time in california one of them the famous Santos Linguica ( which closed due to the owner going crazy and kiling health inspectors) ... I use to buy it all the time for family gatherings.. but i have never been able to buy it in oklahoma unless i had it shipped to me, which is really expensive. but i will try the local mexican markets aroudn okc..

I looked it up online and the price per pound is good, and no taxes but the shipping costs are pretty high. I found it for $5.00-$6.95 which is a reasonable price for a good quality sausage (is that an oxymoron?) but they want about $3.00-$4.00 per pound for shipping. OH well, I hope you find it locally, and if you do, please let me know.

Kewl. Didn't know that. They make the Chicken Enchilada Soup that Coits and Oklahoma Heart Hospital serve. Plus they are just up the road from where I work, will have to check it out.

linguica is sort of like chorizo -- both are cured, spiced sausages originating in iberia and both have "new world" counterparts that are uncooked. the bulk sausage would be the latter. very good, but very different if you are looking for the portugese cured version. the "home" of cured linguica in this country is in southeastern massachusetts, in the New Bedford/Fall River area, where it is a staple in the local kale soup and also is thrown in with steamed clams to flavor the broth.

I would second El Mariachi Super Mercado, they also have a north location @ NW 16th and Drexel, they have it. Thanks for the tip on Ben E Keith, I will keep that in mind.
