and the weather is rainy and cool. Time for a big pot of Navy Beans, Ham and Sausage! Threw in an onion, some garlic, couple stalks of Celery, salt and pepper. Did not need anything else.
The sausage was Portuguese Linguica.

Portuguese Linguica is good stuff! I need to remember that the next time I make a pot o' beans! Made one last week and it didn't last long around our home!

Looks great Sam!

Good looking pot of beans. We do a similar thing using andouille.

That does look real good.

I likes Portagee Linguica. smile It's outstanding cooked on the grill and served as an appetizer.



That does it. I haven't had any in a long time and I've been thinking about it lately. Next trip to the store I'm buying me some greezy spicy snausages. grin

Must be a soup day. I made a pot of black bean and ham soup.

No pics though.

Portuguese Linguica

Never tried it. What are the distinguishing characteristics? (in 50 words or less)

greezy spicy snausages grin

It's not a mild sausage but more in the realm of poslka keilbasa, andouille or a spicy beef stick.

It's difficult to describe a unique flavor. All I can say is they're very tasty.

A for effort...

Good post. Bean with bacon (or whatever) is/was always one of my favs. Coupled with some fresh baked bread and you can be someone.

No magarine sse.

BTW is there any obvious/ particular reason that you would make this when your lovely wife is out of town? wink

Hey David, glad to see you back!!

Your ham and bean soup looks great Sam, but I ate so many as a kid I seldom have a craving for it any more. After seeing yours it sure would taste good on a chilly day like today.

That soup looks good no matter what the euro-sausage tastes like.

That's a fine looking pot of pooters!! I love some good beans and ham with fresh hot buttery cornbread. Sure hope you were able to stand your own company today smile

Love me some Linguica.!

Can't find it here, so I have to schlep it back from CA when I visit relatives.

Where my relatives in CA live, Linguica is an appetizer that's usually cooked on the grill over oak.

Once it's hot, you put a piece on a tortilla with a bit of cheese and some salsa..

That will tide you over until the Tri-Tip is done...

Linguica is FINE eating.!
