For Spanish chorizo

Based on the recipes that I looked at, Spanish chorizo is similar in texture to American cured sausages like Summer Sausage or Smoked Sausage. The Mexican chorizo that I'm familiar with is more the texture of breakfast sausage. (Flavors of both are obviously very different, but the textures are similar.)

In general, I don't care for spicy cured sausages, so it stands to reason that I won't care much for Spanish chorizo. Besides, how does one make chorizo and eggs with that stuff?

This is where it started. :contract:

Chorizo is a sausage, but sausage is not chorizo, except that chorizo doesn't mean the same kind of sausage everywhere. That makes "chorizo" a generic term for "spicy pork sausage" because you can't determine what kind of "spicy pork sausage" it is just by the use of the word "chorizo".

In Spain, it's cured and solid. In Mexico it's more like ground meat. I have no idea what it's like in South America, but it seems to all be different from each other. Ergo, chorizo is generic and completely non-specific.

I'd say a pretty different texture as well.  That Spanish chorizo looks a lot like the Argie variety, and that texture is quite different from summer sausage.  You can see it in the photos-- summer sausage is a lot more finely ground.

I just meant the cured, solid part. That's not something that I particularly care for, and it's obviously a LOT different from the Mexican version.
