Has anyone made this style of sausage?? It sounds like a type of summer sausage.

Hormel and Wikstrom's both sell it and refer to it as a Swedish dry sausage. The Hormel version is popular in Kauai where it used to make musabi.

I think its a type of hard salami.

The last job I worked at the head chef was from Kauai and he gave me one. It was good but I'll stick with spam and potagee sausage...
 
It's a bit different from summer sausage which is a semi dry product and this is a type of salami, similar in spices to Polish salami and German salami (which also might have included ginger).  The recipe is a good basic recipe probably worth trying.
