    2. NOTES : INFO:About chorizo and other Spanish sausages:
    3. Many centuries ago sausages appeared in Spain as a way of preserving meat (I imagine other countries did the same). We have "plain" sausages (longanizas), red sausages (chorizos), black or possibly "white" sausages (morcillas, botifarras...), etc. You can also get "salchichon" (big cured sausage). The basic ingredient is grnd pork, but you can find sausages made with other meats, too. There are many kinds of sausages according to the spices added to the meat.
    4. In Spain, we have many kind of chorizos (red sausages): - "fresh" chorizos: red sausages made with grnd pork (in some areas they make some special ones made with other kinds of meat) and spices. The spices vary according to the place in Spain where the chorizos are made. Basically this kind of chorizos can be divided in two categories: the ones made with sweet Spanish paprika (pimenton rojo dulce) and the ones made with warm Spanish paprika (pimenton rojo picante).
