context_page_description: Farinheira is a Portuguese smoked sausage made mainly from wheat flour, pork fat and seasonings. It has a yellow/brown colour and is served in traditional dishes like feijoada or cozido à portuguesa. It is also eaten on its own, roasted or fried. In modern versions, it is previously cooked, then peeled and mixed with scrambled eggs and served on bread or toast as a starter.
  Although it resembles a chouriço or other meat sausage, its taste is not meaty; it is tangy, with a doughy texture and has a somewhat sweet finish in the palate. It is never cooked sliced unlike other sausages since its dough-like content would pour out of the skin during cooking.
