\"Parkview<\/a>Chorizo is a type of pork and\/or beef sausage which differs in different parts of the world. Spanish chorizo is a smoked, cured, sausage, often sliced and eaten like salami.<\/p>\n

It’s seasoned with hot peppers and pimento. Chorizo found in Mexico and Mexican-American dishes in the US, tends to be ground meat and fattier. It generally doesn’t have the ‘heat’ that the Spanish variety does, as it uses a different kind of peppers.<\/p>\n

In an effort to expand their market, traditional US sausage manufacturers like Johnsonville<\/a> and Hillshire Farms, are adding different spice combinations to traditional smoked sausage (bun size), and giving them different varietal names, like Cajun Andouille, \u201cNew Orleans Style,\u201d Polska Kielbasa, \u201cItalian,\u201d \u201cTexas Hot Links\u201d and so on. To me, there isn’t a whole helluva lot of difference in how they taste, and certainly they are all the same in the grind and texture of the non-natural casing.<\/p>\n

\u201cParkview\u201d is Aldi’s in-house brand of some of their sausage products, and I’ve written about quite a few of them before.<\/p>\n

This week I noticed a new one \u201cChorizo Smoked Sausage,\u201d and I picked it up to try. Like many of Aldi’s smoked sausage products, there are manufactured by Salm Partners in Denmark, WI.<\/p>\n

As I referenced above, most of these types of smoked sausage are indistinguishable from each other, with the exception of a slight variation in taste. With the \u201cChorizo,\u201d Parkview is heavy on the peppers, and this one is hot. Hotter than similar products.<\/p>\n

Great on the grill or in a fry pan. I liked ’em.<\/p>\n
