i got some of the cured Chorizo from my brother for Christmas and well i would venture to say it is better than bacon

NJL · #11 01-01-2009, 08:13 PM

The Chorizo I buy locally has a very thick, tough casing with metal rings on the ends. I don't think your supposed to eat it

When I cook it on the grill, I just slice the casing and dump the meat out. When I boil it in my peanuts, I just take the casing and all out when they're done and toss it. All the flavor and oil goes into the water and peanuts. The sliced sausage looking stuff in the first post looks like the Johnsonville Chorizo.

I got the joke.

When I was stationed in San Antonio, we used to get some killer chorizo y huevo burritos from a place on St. Mary's called El Milagrito. They were the best!

that place is still there, dude! my buddy owns a store right down the street called Krazy Kat music, what years were you here??

I used to visit Krazy Kats many times! I was there from 90-92

Edit: I just found the El Milagrito website!
