how on earth were you getting chorizo wrong?
it's either a) slice and eat or b) slice, cook and eat.

I was cutting it wrong
Large chunks, then cubing them.

It's not how someone else on the internet does it.
And as well you know, that means it's wrong.

When I cooked it in a sauce, the texture went pretty vile
Now, I thinly slice it, and it works far better.

of the chorizo or of the sauce?
because if it's the latter I can't imagine why. But, meh.

The chorizo, lost 90% of it's taste too.

I cannot understand this at all
I cube my chorizo and fry it, it doesn't lose it's taste at all. I made a chicken and chorizo pie like that and it still tasted of chorizo.

Spaniards have been frying their chorizo in big thick slices for years, and I don't think they experience this problem.

I reckon you bought a shit chorizo.

I'm going to have to totally agree with Al, here.

Will you hold me?

I think I overcooked it tbh, it was in the slow cooker overnight.
But I prefer the thin slices now, far easier to do. Also, far more fun to pinch from the pan.
