Hi Vagreys,
So sorry to hear you have been ill, sounds like you have had a really tough time .Would love to read your writeup on sausage history I find it a rather facinating subject.Found an article on the web once where a group got together to try and replicate Roman sausages.
No one knows more than all of us.

Sorry to hear that you have been so very ill. I hope that you are now on the way to better health. Your book project and research sounds of great interest, please let us have the details when it's published. I'm sure that there will be a ready market for it here.

While you are still on the book work - you wouldn't happen to have an authentic Linguiça recipe would you? :D

Tom, our thoughts and prayers are with you. With a heart attack AND a kidney transplant, I'm sure you doctor is going to "regulate" your sausage making, salt intake, etc., and all the fun stuff that you'll have to give up to keep the ticker ticking. Are you over the flu now? Stay healthy Tom, and let us know how you are managing with these trials. You've got a lot of friends out here wishing you the best!
Best wishes, Chuckwagon

Thanks for all your thoughts, folks. I'm feeling pretty good, actually. I received my transplant in November, 2007, and it has been fantastic. After the transplant, I've had no dietary restrictions other than what I've imposed on myself to deal with the side effects of some of my meds. I follow a Mediterranean diet of my own device (well, except for my barbecue, of course). Fortunately, Chuckwagon, my doctors have told me not to change a thing about my diet! My heart attack was a result of long-term effects of a steroid I have to take as part of my anti-rejection meds. Fortunately, there was no long-term damage to the heart muscle. I will say that I wouldn't wish H1N1 on my worst enemy.

Mostly the events of October and November were more frustrating than anything else. After I get the hospital and doctor bills settled, then I have to pay for cardiac rehab, so money to spend on meat and top-quality back fat is going to be very tight. Still, once I've gotten more practice at emulsion sausages, I'll be good to go.

Look for a post on Androlla, Botelo, Butelo, Botello, Butello, Botiello, Butiello, Butel, Pigureiro, Vejiga, and Chorizo de Hueros, soon. In some cases, all the same sausage, but in other cases, all different!

Since you ask :D , I used to eat alot in Douro between Braga and Porto, but have never found a truly authentic rustic recipe.

We have a host of Brazilian friends and customers who buy a 'Brazilified' and a generic 'tipico' version when we make it, but I would love to get that real taste.

I think anise was in there :D

As you've probably figured out, by now, I keep a number of irons in the fire. I work on one thing for awhile, then take a break and work on another project, get an idea and come back to try a different approach...

On the white hots, after getting to a pretty good idea of what a white hot is, I've worked a little on approaches to home emulsion sausage. I've tried running the batch through the 1/8" plate several times and that turns out a nice, fine texture, but it isn't an emulsion. My old Cuisinart DLC-7 Pro turns out a decent batter, but not ideal. I'm still working on my fat to liquid, because my small batch experiments don't always work - sometimes the emulsion breaks, and it feels like doing my first batch of sausage ever, when the fat smeared and I ended up with bags of styrofoam pellets instead of bratwurst. So, I'm gradually working toward a better emulsion.

My Buffalo friends have come to the conclusion that the white hots they like are neither bockwurst nor weisswurst, but somewhere in between, so that's where I'm aiming as I refine my recipe. I've decided I really like the lemon zest influence of weisswurst, but I like the onion/garlic balance with the mace that is more like the bockwurst. Because of my beef and cow dairy allergy, I can't use beef or veal, so I'm using a combination of pork shoulder, pork tenderloin and chicken thighs, which seems to be working; and, in place of non-fat dry milk, I'm using powdered goat milk (you may recall I solicited opinions about that substitution, and I have no idea how the fat content of the goat milk may be affecting things, since I've never done a sausage with non-fat dry milk powder).

So that's where things stand. Occasional small test batches, improving my emulsions, and tweaking the seasoning.
