I dont know what the 'real' spaniard name for it is,  in my country (Colombia) we call them chorizos... BUT there's 2 types of it... the delicious and expensive one thats cured which comes from spain and theres another type we also call chorizo which is more like a regular sausage you find in US delicatessens.

The one im talking about is the type that you hang on a wall for days after you buy it, the meat cures as the oils inside drip out and even the thinnest slice carries SO much flavor its just not funny.

It looks a lot like the one in your picture too.

ok I see what you mean  ,but the Morteau is a sort of smoked "salcisson" and the taste is completly different.
I eat chorizo from time to time just because it's different :)

morteau is not even close to chorizo.  they are totally different. morteau is a much more refined product.  when disreali said that (paraphrase here) it was better if the common man knew not how either laws and sausages are made I'm convinced he was referring to chorizo, or maybe morcilla or even salchicon.  in any event the end result is a tasty product.  sausages are good afternoon fare irrespective of origin.  mmmmmm I'm hungry now. :D
