Chorizio nice but overrated.
If you're not frying it, it's shit. Sauscison is nicer raw.

I think it's the cooking and quality of the sausage that is most important rather than the "type"

If your chorizo is over-rated, buy some proper chorizo.

Fried it is much better, especially with some black pudding, crusty bread and Rioja

It's meant to be used in cooking, so of course it is.
You don't get many people going "Oh, I'm partial to a bit of cumberland sausage, but they're not that good raw"

The larger ones are sold in wafer thin slices as a salami and are not intended for cooking.
As I understand it there are two distincly different types: 'cooking chorizo' and this other one. I dislike it.

Not a great sandwich filler IMO, but as I said in my post, quality is more important than type.

It's a sausage for cooking. Why would you eat it raw?

It's cured meat badger, I don't see why you're arguing about this.

because it's wednesday, chompy.
Wednesday lunchtime is "argue on the internet time"

anyway, we aren't arguing. I argee it's not good raw. I'm just saying that I wouldn't use it raw.
