Argentine chorizos
In Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia, chorizo is the name for any coarse meat sausage. Spanish-style chorizo is also available, and is distinguished by the name “chorizo español” (“Spanish chorizo”). Argentine chorizos are normally made of pork, and are not spicy hot. Some Argentine chorizos include other types of meat, typically beef. In Argentina, Uruguay and Chile a fresh chorizo, cooked and served in a bread roll, is called a choripán (type of sandwich).
