I think I know that chorizo, but if it is the one I am thinking about (refrigerated, like hot dogs?), that is a Mex chorizo. Not bad at all, but not like a Cubano chorizo. This one is a smoked, dried, non-refrigerated sausage with very different seasonings and completely different flavor. It is used in many Cuban recipes, like soups (caldo gallego), stews (paella), roasts (boliche). Not so much for the meat, but for the bold flavors.

Got a fresh shipment of choriso and guava paste coming about mid-November via Calle Ocho. Pastellitos too.
