to Chorizo, but not as oily or quite as spicy. It's available in most supermarkets, right next to the Chorizo. Very flavorful and great on pizza, as an alternative to pepperoni. It's also great as an omelet ingredient, when diced very small and combined with cheese, onion, and tomato.

Try in North Beach. A shop there will certainly have it. Or try this sausage maker in Santa Clara:

Here's a San Francisco source. It's a Brazilian food store, but they have authentic linguica:
