[quote=Anonymous]Chorizo is a generic term, and (IMHO) "proper" chorizo tends to be defined by what people ate as kids. So, the first question is what does the term mean for you? Do you mean pork or beef? Finally ground or chunks with fat? Canela or oregano as the dominant spice? DH has been looking for "proper" (rural) Mexican chorizo (dried, pork, chunks, canela) since we got to DC and has been very disappointed. Most of the grocery stores and carnecerias around here that are labeled "Mexican" or appear to be Latino are really Salvadorean, which is totally different. We had no luck with Whole Foods, so I wouldn't bother (only stuff I found there was in the meat case). The places in Arlington are all Salvadorean. (DH went to every one when we first got here.) So far, we've relied on family in LA and Chicago to send us stuff. But I'll be thrilled if DCUM'ers come up with some place closer. At this point, we are considering learning how to make it ourselves.[/quote]
