No worries..:smile:


The Spanish chorizo can be found in gourmet locations in Houston too, but not out of the big city. I had Spanish chorizo in the Paella in both Madrid and Barcelona. The best was in Granada.

I suspect Texas chorizo is only found in Texas.:smile:

That does sound good. : ) My favorite Spanish chorizo preparation is to dice it, sauté in olive oil, add some fresh clams, dry sherry and butter, maybe some minced chives if you're feeling fancy. Stolen from my last job and shared with you folks. bigsmile



That sounds like a Tapas dish.

That does sound good! Post more recipes to share on Mingle. We appreciate them!drinker

My understanding of tapas is that it is a selection of small apertisers, not a single dish much like a thali from an indian or a greek meze :smile:

Tapas can be almost anything. It was different in every bar I went to in Spain (and I went to a lot!laugh }

Some tapas were served cold but most were little hot dishes of sauteed meat, cheese, olives, tomatoes, peppers (not hot), or whatever ... served with bread or crackers. As long as you would drink, they would make little snacks for you about every twenty to thirty minutes or so.

Yep and they have a habit of sneaking in quite a bit of salt on some of those dishes so that you order more cerveza's (lager) laugh

We mostly drank rojo (It was soooooo good!) but we also drank the Spanish version of Grapa. I forget what it is called.laugh
