Thank you for your input . I do appreciate it. Were Opalka and/or Polish Linguisa more productive for you than Jersey Devil?

I like to use the pastes for sauces too, and some of the bigger varieties for roasting since they tend to hold up well to that type of cooking (San Marzano Redorta for example).

Oh and thank you for mentioning those other plum/elongated varieties, I'm only familiar with the Speckled Roman type out of those. Now i'm going to look those varieities up.
