Chirizo is what we call chorizo here or is it a typo?

Ahh ok, then I think you'd like the one we have here. Much tastier (not spicier) and not so greasy.

Popular here as "tapas" or fried (the one that we call "Chistorra").

Thanks Cyrano. I'll have to keep that one in mind when I get over to that part of the world again.

Is it pretty saucy (best term I can come up with)? Or is it farily dry? Have you had the Mexican Chorizo (would be good for a comparison)?

Heck, I just might heve to get over there to try it out, along with the other Spanish treats.

ok, im in highschool, and I have a few mexican friends. Often times they bring there own food. Most evry time it is either some kind of salad(skuzzy your right) here anyway, but other times they bring a beef and beef burrito( yes some mexicns have beef).

When I read this psot i asked them, they said something like this: ususally we just have some kind of veggitables. We grow our own plants, herbs and things like that. But also when we get the chance we go to the market and get some meet, and stuff.

So this is what I think( while mexican food is mainly a mix, they often have to resort to veggies like historical food, thanks.

I've had the mexican one, and the one we have here is dry, not saucy at all. As a matter of fact, the procedure has its basis on letting it dry for months or years.

@ Nilsen: They feed you cod? I'd have guessed you had that kind of fish over there.

Yup Daniel

Cod in tasty red goo. The red goo tastes good, its cod that ive never been a big fan of.

There are as many different takes on Mexican food as there are accents in a language. All depends on which part of the country you are in.

Someone asked what Taco Bell was... it's crap. Maybe compairing prime rib to oatmeal would be a better example.

Albuquerque is a cool town. Spent New Years there a few years back on the company's dime because I had to cover for one of our employees who went out of town for vacation. Took the cable car to the top of Sandia Peak and took some pics. It was nice. There was a snowstorm the day before we arrived and there was snow on the ground at the hotel. The ski lifts on the West side of the mountains were open. It was weird to look down from the top and see the west side was all brown and green and the east side was covered in snow. Food was crazy too....everywhere you go, no matter what you order they ask if you want red or green sauce on it.
