I'm curious what a recipe means when it says 'Chorizo'. I haven't
ever noticed it in our grocery stores- but when a Meat House opened up
nearby I was poking around and found some packaged sausages marked
'chorizo'. 4-5 sausages to the pound, looked a lot like kielbasa.

Then I found another one labeled chorizo. This one looked like a
pepperoni.

Are either of these what merryb makes?

What makes a 'chorizo'- a 'chorizo'? and which one is usually meant
in a recipe?

[Both were good- but not worth the premium price to me. I must be too
used to italian style sausages.]
