Chorizo

[Yorky]

My Western Food provider has "Espuna Chorizo Picante" on his list. I'm guessing that it's Spanish but I haven't tasted it or even seen it. It sells for £2.00 for 200 gms.

Yorky mate should you decide to take it, this is your next burger challenge. I made it a few times in the summer last year it went down a storm.

So I would not be wrong (or right) with anything that is close to the correct pronunciation.

Don't worry about it. I say Cho (the 'o' as on hot) reetzo (the o as in hello). There isn't a correct way unless you speak Spanish.

Thank you MG

The best approximation of the way I pronounce it is choh-REE-tho

We have a lot of Mexican Americans in Texas (about 40-percent of the population), and I generally hear them say "chor-ee-zo." The Spanish may pronounce it differently. Mexican Spanish is a bit different than Spanish Spanish -- kind of like American and UK English.

An "O" in Spanish would always be pronounced as in "Hello." There is a British YouTube channel I watch for every episode, and they constantly mispronounce Spanish/Mexican (and Italian) words -- particularly the vowels.

I've never been to Mexico, but I've noticed how different the Spanish sounds in American films and TV shows to the Spanish I've heard in Spain. I only speak very basic Spanish but I think one of the biggest differences is Spanish-Spanish has a lot more "th" sounds than Mexican-Spanish....most Cs and Zs are pronounced similar to "th" (so actually the Spanish pronunciation of chorizo would be closer to thoh-REE-tho). I've only visited northern Spain and I understand its a bit different in the south of the country where the pronunciation is closer to what you'd hear in South and Central America.
