Pepperoni vs Spanish chorizo.

[Jimmy Jazz]

No, not really.

Although i think i saw a brazilian movie called Tropa de Elite that was pretty cool.

That being said, here in Mexico we only get US action flicks.

oh yeah I saw that. great movie. Thats too bad, I like alot of european crime films from the 70s and 80s and wondered if there was a counter part in mexico.

I'll mention that to the wife and see if she turns her nose up to it.

For US residents this is a good source of Spanish chorizo. https://www.laespanolameats.tienda/en/

Here's my two favorites.

You should, it gives it a really great texture and removes some of the fat content, great with eggs, rice, pasta and pretty much everything.

I dont know the brand that i buy, since the places where you buy it usually get it in bulk and they just cut a piece and weight it.

No, we are too close to America so we kinda got swallowed up.

We used to have great movies back in the 40s and 50s but the government at the time went full socialist and nationalized all studios, with obvious results.

She's not familiar with cooking the cured stuff. I like the idea of serving with eggs.

Thanks. The wife says she doesn't cook the cured stuff because of it releasing all the oil and making the meat tough.

Spanish Chorizo is superior but somehow all I can find is its bastard Mexican child over here and mexican chorizo is pretty shitty.

Because they arent even on the same page in term of uses and preparation.

You look for spanish chorizo at the deli.

Nah, its just like bacon, it just gets a little crispy and less chewy.

Found this article, which i think will shed light on whats authentic mexican food.

I disagree with it a bit the northeast cant be considered part of the north, since its industrial base has attracted so many people from other regions of Mexico.

She wonders if you're talking about the hybrid version that's kind of cured but also needs refrigerated. Also says people in Spain don't do too much cooking with the cured offerings.

It seems to always fall on deaf ears, and the same ones will cry "that's not real mexican food!" lol I know plenty of Mexican-Americans that will claim the same thing, and wouldn't be caught dead eating flour tortillas, for fear of being labeled a sell out or 'coconut'. It's silly, really.

I actually prefer the Mexican chorizo, especially in a nice breakfast taco with flour tortillas. But I'm just a pinche gringo estupido....lol.

No, im talking about the ones you posted.

And yes, they dont cook them up because they tend to use them as appetizers with bread, so they are fresh.

Its just like semi-hard cheese like Jack, you can eat it fresh or you can melt it.

I'm surprised, I use chorizo primarily in warm dishes.
This is a dish I made recently.


I also used it often in Paella.

 

[Rod1]

Look at this other video, spanish rice with spanish chorizo is fucking great.

But for some reasons Spanish people will get mad when you put chorizo on paella.

 

[Pied Piper]

most mexicans have too much pride to say otherwise. But I prefer the pepperoni

Really? Man, that's my favorite part. I'm not super authentic, but I try to get close.

Looks good! Haven't had Paella in years.

She says if she were to expect the cured stuff to be cooked in to something it would be a rice dish that isn't very wet. But that's just one person's impressions from growing up in Southern Spain.

I know these guys, they are retarded, poor and have huge nationalistic ego, so they dont know the fucking world, they dont even know their own country to begin with.

Show them this video next time.



Yeah im pretty sure that lady isnt Mexican she is just americanized. In fact in a lot of the native towns where i live you wont even find corn tortillas, these people were christianized centuries ago by monks in missions who brought wheat with them.

 

[Rod1]

Even better, i found this video of a Yaqui 6 years old girl making fluor tortillas, the girl probably doesnt even speaks spanish but the yaqui language.
