I see. Thanks Dave. I think the Italian variant is "Luganega"? Maybe Tiz can help me on that one?
Hi Big Geoff...well, Luganigait's used in the North East of Italy only and is called so...the rest of Italy eats sausages called "salsiccia"

Greeks call sausages generally loukanika...

The term"village"is referred generally to old,good manner(to do some things) that has now disappeared in our modern towns but that remained intact in the villages....so we have"village sausages(=Horiatika loukanika)"...or"village pie"(=Horiatiki pitta)..or"village salad"(=Horiatiki salata, which all of us know and love)...and many more...Then, as Sundon_park says too, it means "country stile"...or "pain de campagne"as you say too..

Hope I have been able to explain what I mean...Am I good as teacher?...lol..

Sorry Tiz, its another quote from Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood". That's where the parsley one came from a few weeks ago....

Its great - you should try to have a listen to a copy of the 1954 recording with Richard Burton as narrator. Its available on DVD.

Many thanks Geoff, for explained me it...I made a little research on Internet about Dylan Thomas, not knowing who he is...(I'm just a geologist and not a literary woman..lol..)I found an Italian website where I can listen some of his poems in Italian....

P.S.

The italian name Louganiga don't has anything to do with the Greek name Loukanika....Louganiga derives from the swiss city of Lugano...so "Lugano style"

Hmmmm. Maybe the Greek name derives from the Italian, which in turn originates in Swiss?! Confusing!

Hope you enjoy the Dylan Thomas, and I am sure the Italian versions are great, but PLEASE try to have a listen to the Richard Burton one! His voice is absolutely amazing and brings the "play for voices" to life. It was recorded for the BBC and broadcast in 1954. They have even left in the odd couple of mistakes he makes in reading it! I love to listen to it in the bath...

By the way Tiz, as a geologist, do you have any ideas about the geology of Corfu or mainland Greece? I am still trying to get this idea of a school trip to the area off the ground, and one of the fascinating features I wanted to look at are the amazing faults in the sedimentary strata that I noticed from my hired motorboat on the coastline between Nissaki and Kassiopi. Evidence of metamorphic and tectonic activity?
