[edit] Embutido vs. sausage
It's not clear to me whether embutido refers to a specific class of sausages, or whether embutido and salchicha are synonyms meaning "sausage." I've posted a question on the talk page for es:Salchicha, and if I learn that they're identical, I'll suggest that this article either be merged into sausage or speedy-deleted. | Klaw ¡digame! 00:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm spanish and my father produces and sells embutidos and jamones of first quality. If you think it coldly it's true that you could consider embutido a kind of sausage (understood as meat packed in a long casing, usually made of intestine), but no spaniard would think of embutido if you mention a Salchicha (Sausage). Salchicha is usually raw or boiled meat, salted or spiced and pretended to be fried, or sometimes just heated. The typical sausage that comes to mind is the Oscar Mayer type.
- Embutidos are much bigger (lomo and salchichón can be easily 2 feet long) and is thought to be eaten without further cooking. Chorizo is usually the exception as is eaten fried also. Chorizo is red and made up of minced meat, fat, garlic, red pepper (pimentón)and other spices, it's left 1 day at 50ºC and the 2 months to dry and cure. Salchichón is similar, but more pink than red, as it has nutmeg and black pepper instead of garlic and red pepper, it's boiled and left to dry . Lomo is meat from the back of the pig (the same meat as sirloin), not minced, but spiced with oil, garlic red pepper and other spiced, the cooked for a day in a furnace and hot-dried during a month, it's red. Morcilla is minced onion with a mass of pork blood spiced with garlic and others, it's purple-black.

- Neither would any Filipino consider embutido as a sausage. In fact, I’ve never thought of those two things together right until I came across this article. Embutidos seem to me more like meatloaf than a type of sausage. —Lagalag 08:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
