it’s pronounced “Joong” (my Cantonese Chinese is so awful - I can also point on the menu!) and the Sf place uses “Chinese tamale” in the menu description next to the Chinese characters.
My child is in school so I can keep some secrets :-)
I love chorizo and also didn’t consider that it can be stored un-cold!
These sound yummy.
the sodium is of course a concern and I would have to exercise good moderation.

When I googled Chinese tamale it said Zongzi---is that the same thing?
Lots of sausages are cured & dried in a way that makes them shelf stable. Have you not seen sausages hanging in a deli? Lots of salami, summer sausage, pepperoni are often available shelf stable. I have received food gift baskets that have those kinds of sausages along with crackers and cheeses----gift baskets are not refrigerated.
In the big picture of nutrition, sodium is the least dangerous part of your diet. You guys eat an awful lot of sugar and refined carbs. But yes, all sausages contain a lot of sodium.

I didn't realize that kids up there weren't still doing school at home. So I guess you would have to finish off the entire package of sausages before he gets home from school. Wouldn't it just be easier to ask him for special dispensation like your wife gets with the prosciutto?

I’m tempted to buy the Chinese sausage that Costco sells - I used to eat it often as a child. It’s a surreal meat sausage that is sold UN-refrigerated and I cant even comprehend the HOW of it except it is cooked by steam; usually just cooked together with rice. Usually chinese “tamales” have a couple slices of them. Now it sounds really good.
I guess it must use tons of sodium in order to function!

Im less sure about liver!
and yes, Joong is Cantonese but Im sure I say it poorly. I recall someone in HK telling me that there are 10 (!) tones as opposed to only 4 in mandarin.

Several private elementary schools and religious days schools in San Francisco have implemented a hybrid learning model where students alternate between attending classes in-person and online from home. Some schools there are currently transitioning to a full return to campus of all students.

Speaking of breakfast sausage, while Portuguese Sausage from Hawaii remains our favorite, we do experiment now and then with others. For the meat alternative crowd, we really liked the Beyond Meat breakfast sausages (I get them at Whole Foods when they are on sale or I have a coupon). However, the Meatless Farm Co. sausages we bought at Lidl were pretty vile.

How is the Silva Linguica at Costco? It’s the only Silva / linguica product that Costco has, while they’ve other products from Evergood and Aidell’s.

As a semi-famous Chicagoan (and a purveyor and host of a couple of FT dos in the distant past) once said,
There are no two finer words in the English language than Encased Meats, my friend.
