I'm not sure I get the reference.

I'm a little rusty in my Golden Girls knowledge, apparently.

Had no idea. I thought it was Mexican.

Oy vey.

What? I grew up with chorizo and eggs for breakfast. My family is Mexican. Never occurred to me that the food wasn't Mexican.

So did you think eggs were Mexican?

Well, I guess if they were huevos rancheros you'd have been right

Very few things in this world are more Spanish than chorizo. Don't you dare to try to steal it from us, go back to sunglasses.

So, the fact that the entire Spanish-speaking world has their own version of sausage that they call chorizo means nothing to you?

[derspiess]

I think he's saying you can't claim chorizo as exclusively Mexican.  I doubt he'd have a problem with you calling Mexican-style chorizo Mexican, however.

Mexican Chorizo>Iberian Chorizo

Kat, have you ever made your own? I hadn't until a couple of years ago, and I have to say that the recipe my oldest sister had blows most store-bought chorizo out of the water. It came from her mother-in-law from some tiny little village in the mountains, has something like 15 spices in it, and takes for freaking ever to make, but it's delicious.

Mexican Chorizo>Iberian Chorizo

How can you agree with that when you've never even had Iberian Chorizo?
