So called because this is a sausage sold by the metre, this is a name for luganega, a long, curled, mildy spiced sausage found in Basilicata, Lombardy and the Veneto. It may be grilled and served as an antipasto or used in pasta sauces or braised in white wine. The best, though this is hotly contested, are said to come from Manzo in Lombardy.
