Where to find real chorizo in Austin?

[BolivianBulldog]

I can't find any Spanish Chorizo (not the Mexican imposter, which I know people love, but I can't stand). In Houston, I used to get it at Specs or another local grocer. I can't seem to find it here. I was told it was at Central Market, but nobody could help me find any. I've tried a couple of wine places too, but, alas, no luck.

Try Phoenicia -- there's one on S. Lamar, and one on Burnet N. of 45th.

Is the spanish stuff more like salami? My wife had a caterer last night bring paella and her menu referenced chorizo and described it more like salami. I could hook you up with her if that is along the lines you are looking for. In SA, but I'm sure somehting could be worked out.

What's the difference? Is the Spanish version made out of more dignified pork snouts?

They have it at CM North Lamar. Ask the Foodies there.

Its like salami. I asked the ******** at Central Market. I walked along with this guy for 15 minutes before he said they didn't have it. I'll try again. Maybe he was just hired.

Thanks, but I don't think it should be that hard to find here.

 

[goofybevo]

We work with them. I'll see if I can ask somebody up there for you.

 

[Brisketexan]

Goddamit, I said Phoenicia, and I MEAN Phoenicia.

They have it, or at least they usually do. For certain odd exotic foods, they're the best place in town.

or I could go to Phoenicia

there are a few things about which you don't **** with brisket. food happens to be one of them.

i understand he loves cobbler, but only without ice cream. heh.

 

[NickDanger]

Does it taste anything like texmex chorizo and should we pronounce if Sherisse like Emeril does?

I asked at work and two or three guys at work said

[Brisketexan]

You're funny Hayden.

Last time i went out to visit my parents in west texas, i stocked up and brought back about 10 packages. I cannot stand the stuff they sell in N. austin.

And i was wondering how many replies it would take to get a joke out of this
