It's sold as one long coiled sausage rather than pre-cut into links — vendors snip off however much you want right off the coil.
A fresh, coarsely ground pork sausage seasoned simply with salt and pepper is sold as a long, loosely coiled rope rather than individual links, and grilled or braised whole. Ticino's market stalls and village festivals sell it sliced into rolls or paired with polenta.
