Why is chorizo so cheap compared to regular ground pork? The fuck is wrong with it. >picrel $1.34
>>21103826Its actually hard to find a butcher with good chorizo
>>21103826>Beef chorizoWell for one. That isn't chorizo.
it's all the inedible scraps they'd typically use for a hotdog, just spiced and doused with nitrates
>>21103831Well it says chorizo on the label. Even in the Spanish.>Chorizo de ResI don't know what that means but it also says 'quality and authentic' since 1973 so it has to be chorizo. You can't just mislabel food like that for so many years.
>>21103826It has a high liquid content in the packaging. If you ever eat a taco of it you will see orange shit everywhere on the wrapper and on your hands and possibly your shirt.
Throw it in a hot pan and find out it's like 40% water by volume.That's why.
>>21103856Can you use it for slightly spicy hamburger helper?
>>21103831Don't bring attention to it, it's a touchy subject for Americans. They're a Jewish colony so most of their sausages are made of beef or turkey. Gotta stay kosher for their masters!
>>21103861i've never tried it but yeah that does sound like an easy cheap alternative to beef. Reading that actually makes me want to try it out
>>21103883isn't beef or turkey a higher quality option though
>>21103895No. Poultry should never be used in sausages at all. Also sausages without pork always suck.
>>21103861it's way, way greasier than ground beef
>>21103826It's offal and it tastes awful. Why do you think?
>>21103895Yes it isBut he's retarded anyway the USA is the third leading producer of pork after China and every country in the EU combined
>>21103919Those are rookie numbers.
>>21103895Higher quality in what way? Beef is more expensive than pork, but sausages are traditionally made of pork because it tastes better. And chorizo has to be made of pork.But honestly, whatever the fuck is in that tube is not even remotely close to chorizo - it looks more like nduja. Chorizo is a solid, cured sausage like salami or pepperoni.
>>21103919If pork isn't the number 1 meat in your country it's obviously not a first world country.
>>21103826>Beef Chorizo This shit is disgusting btw
>>21103943Funny because it seems to me like pork makes up a higher percentage of a country's diet the poorer it is see: every South American country, Spain, Haiti, Indonesia

>>21103999Pigs are living garbage disposals that can live in a very small area, they are perfect for thirdies.
>>21104006Pig is delicious and eaten in all of Europe, that's the most developed area in the whole planet. So now shut up, nigger.
>>21104006Have you ever been to India? Cows there walk around the streets eating literal trash. You could probably feed trash to a chicken too. Literally every animal eats trash, so I don't know why people act like it's only pigs.
>>21104010>Europe>most developed
>>21103826Cheap chorizo has soy filler
>>21103940Spanish chorizo is solid like salami. Mexican chorizo is a paste and uses pork salivary glands.
>>21103826>Why is chorizo so cheap compared to regular ground pork? The fuck is wrong with itLook at the ingredients. First ingredient “beef salivary glands” second ingredient “lymph nodes and fat, cheeks and tongue”
>>21104032>>21104038Holy shit, I had no idea Mexican chorizo even existed until now. What an abomination. This is what Americans are talking about when they say chorizo?
>>21104045>This is what Americans are talking about when they say chorizo?I know the difference between Mexican chorizo and real Spanish chorizo, thanks. I don’t know why Mexicans call their version chorizo
>>21104045If you get decent quality chorizo it is actually pretty good and a nice way to add good flavor to soups and sauces. Even the cheap stuff is nice with eggs and potatoes for breakfast when you're hungover.
>>21104006Whatever you say mohammed
>>21104056You don’t get what this guy is saying. Mexican chorizo and Spanish chorizo are two totally different things. Look at the ingredients of Mexican chorizo. I wouldn’t feed that to a dog
>>21104010Nobody said it wasn't good to eat, ESL-sama. It's just that it's much easier for poor communities with roofs made of tin to raise hogs rather than anything more resource and space intensive.
>>21104070Its just tongue meat. Your dog would eat worse.
>>21104070You can make your own. It's just minced pork and a few spices.
>>21104070So what? It tastes good. That spanish chorizo probably uses natural casing.
>>21104081>It's just minced pork and a few spices.No dummy, look at a package and look at the ingredients, it’s pork salivary glands. Any package you look at, it contains pork salivary glands
>>21104109Yes i.e. tongue
>>21104120You can tongue my anus. I will not eat Mexican chorizo. Spanish chorizo though is delicious. Let your alimentador de mamá feed you all the Mexican chorizo you can stomach, I don’t want it
>>21104147Pussy
>>21104147That chica de mexico can shove that Mexican chorizo tube up my ass if she wants
>>21104120Salivary glands are not the same as tongue.
>>21103826legendary
>>21104329How are salivary glands any worse than eating intestine?
>>21104364I didn't say they were.
>>21104329>>21104364dont care, as long as its seasoned enough to be palatable
>>21104391Exactly. We've been eating chicken nuggies and hotdogs our whole lives. After you churn the meat enough it is just tooth paste regardless of where it came from. Take prem whole chicken breasts and then their useless chunks and mash them up. You won't be able to tell which was which when it is processed down that far.
>>21103999I like how you didn't actually say he was wrong, you just seethed about it instead.
>>21103826As others have pointed out, it's the spare parts of whatever animal made it. But it tastes damn good if you fry it for a while to get the oil out and then stir in beaten eggs to absorb all the oil. The resulting food is these tasty nuggets of chorizo bound together with egg that go great in a tortilla with cheese and hot sauce. It's an awesome breakfast burrito.
>>21104052you wanna hazard a guess with that huge brain of yours?
>>21104419pink slime is still mostly meat. chorizo is on the same level as scrapple, maybe even lower since it's just lymphatic tissue instead of even organ meat.
>>21103826chorizo (at least that kind) is made with all the leftovers that you wouldn't make sausage or hot dogs from.
>>21103855The other anon is right. real chorizo is more like pepperoni.
>>21104012
>>21105216Chickens eat everything though. They even eat themselves.
gotta get the good shit
>>21105212And?>>21105215How is mexican chorizo fake? Most people in the states understand that chorizo is referring to Mexican style chorizo.>>21105373This, although some pricier chorizo is worse than the cheap stuff.
>>21103826It’s only 9 oz and there’s filler in there.
>>21103826Nothing beats a breakfast burrito that's drips red oil when you bit into it.
>>21103883>most of their sausages are made of beef or turke>europeans actually believe this
