You tricked me with the 2nd post. I thought as much with the first one but then your second one seemed so earnest.

I suppose I was fairly serious with that one.  Chipotle is my favorite burrito place around here, mostly because of the fresh ingredients.  Burritos at local authentic Mexican places just don't taste as fresh. 

Mind you, I've had better than Chipotle in other areas.

LOL, gringos lump all spics as mexicans, what a surprise.

I asked my older foster sister about the chorizo thing. She thought it was Mexican, too. Then she and I looked it up, and apparently, Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo are very different, at least as she and I know them. And "chorizo" appears to just mean sausage, which makes sense that they're different depending on which country you're talking about.

Still not exclusively Mexican, sorry

I know. That's what the bolded part was saying. I didn't understand that the word chorizo meant sausage in Spanish, rather than that it was a specific dish in Mexican cuisine. (FWIW, my sister was the same.) Now we both know.

Chorizo doesn't mean sausage.

If Meri didn't eat salchicha, it doesn't exist.




Okay, I'll stop now

Will the Seattle hippy food forest have chorizoquezo taco trees?

Meri, you can't let The Forehead out-bean you.

Chorizo doesn't mean sausage.

So, a quick lesson in the development of languages. If a word means something in one country, but then is carried to other places that use it to mean something similar but not exactly the same, in those countries that word has a new meaning. In this case, just because chorizo is a particular kind of sausage in Spain, it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean "sausage" elsewhere. It's almost like a brand name at that point.

For example, in English, one wipes their nose with a tissue. However, in the US, we tend to wipe our noses with Kleenex, even though it may not be the brand Kleenex tissue that we're using.

If a large part of the world uses the term "chorizo" to mean sausage, then, for them, that's exactly what it means. By common definition, it means a spicy pork sausage. That can be innumerable recipes from all over the place. So, while you may not use it to mean "sausage" in Spain, that does not negate the fact that it is, in fact, "sausage" in a whole hell of a lot of other places.

I'm legitimate Hispandex.  Or I will be when I get that passport

Chorizo is a sausage, but sausage is not chorizo.

He is right though. No where does Chorizo mean "sausage".  The term is often used to desribe a kind of sausage but it does not mean sausage.

Maple does not mean syrop.  But if you are using any other kind of syrop you are missing out.

[derspiess]

Syrop?

[katmai]

Yeah wtf is syrop

[lustindarkness]

Chorizo syrop?
