Meats and Sausages
Salchicha de Turista
A small Spanish fresh sausage. In many countries, for example Russia, such small sausages are called "tourist" sausages as they are easy to carry and keep reasonably well. They were often called hunter's sausage as hunters would carry them in a bag as convenience food.
