Hello Rudy -- Wecome back to the list -- we missed hearing from you.

I'm not knowledgeable about sausage -- although all this talk has made me
feel hungry for it. Looking forward to hearing what others have to say.

Rudy -- do you think it was common for people to have brought this dried
salami with them on their trip across the ocean? The only thing I ever
heard about my grandparents voyage regarding food was that my grandfather
had a job on board so that they would get better food. My father was
lucky -- he was only six months old and still nursing -- so his food came
pre-packaged with love. :-)!

Take care. Susan
