I've bought the William Rose chorizo sausages last year and they were sold as uncooked. It would certainly be poor hygiene, through cross contamination, if cooked sausages were displayed next to raw sausages.


I believe Marmora Man is referring to cured chorizo where you can either eat it from cold or cooked. The William Rose's chorizo sausages are not the same as cured chorizos.

Thanks for that .

Bit silly of me as it's obvious really if it's sold next to uncooked meat .


In the past I've chopped it up and added to lentil soup with no prior cooking ,but I was wondering .


We've suffered no ill effects .... the sausage contents do look pretty cured ,but I'll pre cook it from now on !

"There are two types of chorizo. Fresh and raw"


Not in Spain there isn't.

There it specifically means smoke cured sausage (or a silly billy). Paprika is optional as you can get chorizo blanco without it.

There's probably a governing body which decides what the difference is between salchich?n, fuet, lomo (which presumably is made only from the back of a pig), chorizo etc.


I think the meaning has been extrapolated internationally to mean any sausagey pork product with paprika though.

In fact I once had 'chorizo' in the dearly departed Black Cherry which was actually a spicy frankfurter. Eek! I made my feelings clear about this.


But enough with the pedantry, the type you refer to does need cooking (but chorizo it ain't!!).

In her head maybe.

Don't get me wrong, I was perfectly polite, but they refused to accept that charging 12 quid for a boil in the bag frankfurter form sainsburys and selling it as something it wasn't was wrong and offered no alternative nor money back.

It was the last time any of us ate there to be fair so something less pithy (be it unspoken or not) might have been wiser.


I'll miss the Buena Vistas though!!

If she is Irish she would have said "WhiskEy"

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
