You said it! How people cook without bacon drippings is beyond me!

I had a friend whose ancestors were from Portugal .Oh, wow, was
that some great food. What is the name of that wonderful sausage? When I
was visiting in Boston we had it for breakfast and on Pizza (that was the
best pizza I ever ate) and on a bun, like a hoagie bun with all kinds of
