HisSelf Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Those of you who watch the cooking shows (big fan here - it's a damned sight cheaper than fancy restaurants and just as good) will have noticed that there is a really big push on for dishes that include the Spanish sausage "corizo". Corizo is hard to find in Canada and when you can, it's damned exepensive. I went out and bought some. Used it in a recipe. Ate it raw. Tasted just like Kolbassa (Ukrainian garlic sausage) which is much cheaper and easier to find. Is this a plot by the Chorizo marketing board? Even worse, by some pastey faced little BMW driving drip with a marketing account to increase Chorizo sales in North America? Try this taste test! Quote ...
Shakeyhands Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 tastes like kolbassa raw and gets hot when you cook it right? Interesting.... Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
cybercoma Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I have to disagree. Chorizo sausage has an entirely different taste and texture... and now I'm craving paella... and sangria. Quote
guyser Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I have to disagree. Chorizo sausage has an entirely different taste and texture... and now I'm craving paella... and sangria. Agreed! Different choice of meat. Chorizo uses fatty pork and dried red peppers and kielbasa uses choice cuts. Lots and lots of differences. Kielbasa.....not so much I like, Chorizo, especially in paella is very very good. If you really want a good taste test, go try some Balut . Very tasty , in fact so good I wouldnt try it. Pretty much the only thing on this planet I have decided I wont try. For everything else I will try.Fresh snake heart , no probs, locusts sure why not....but not Balut. Quote
Shakeyhands Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 If you really want a good taste test, go try some Balut . Balut is gross, its on my list too. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
cybercoma Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I love trying new things, but I really can't wrap my head around balut. But if you really want taboo, check out peruvian bo quay... Quote
