European fusionz

Can it even be called a ragu if you use chorizo? I bet it tastes fucking good though.

Feh, it's all european fusion food. As per wiki:
Ragùs as pasta sauces in Italian cuisine likely arose from the influence and status of French ragoûts in the region of Emilia-Romagna in the late 18th century, following Napoleon's 1796 invasion and possession of the northern regions of what is now Italy.
I stick to bread and provolone, me.

This is undeniable... Doesn't make it right tho'!!! ;)
I've made a pasta piselli with chorizo once or twice, only cuz we haven't had bacon in the house... So wrong, but bloody delicious... Mrs >>>>>>'s sister actually prefers it this way...
However, chorizo on pizza, etc? Do u even geography, bro'?

Also there is a calabrese sausage/salami that knocks choritzo away. It contains the thickest, pulpy tomatoes and beyond ripe red peppers. Ones that aren't watered alot so the tomato and peppers is quite compact and not too watery. It is mixed together with the fat, with spices so that even the fat becomes red tinged.
The sausage/salame is thin and cut in to rough slices or chunks to eat with bread, or in a salad.

It is not that kind of sausage, from making sausages, with family, the sauce sausage was the rougher fattier cuts as the sauce was cooked on a low heat. Where we were there was electric but no mains power or gas, all the gas was from tanks so we cooked over the fireplace.
EDIT - Am in an odd nostalgic mood, was in England at university till I figured out that you could buy gnochi.

Yes sorry, that sounded delicious. I was making mere jokes. I should have used the i'm-making-an-attempt-at-funny punctuation mark.
I'll try again: Or rendered for its vital essence which is used in a killer ragu⸮
I'm just having a hard time with this vanity of petty differences* surrounding use of sausages that cross country borders. It's as if I bit into a delicious bacon cheeseburger and spit it out, yelling: "What is this? German speck? I asked for bacon! Take this back and give me a frikadellen and dampfknödel immediately!"
*or der Narzißmus der kleinen Differenzen

Sausage/salami is not just a country thing it is a regional thing with what is available locally, even with pig variations, as there was in England. Italy is a young country and not been unified for that long, even the language is not set, with extensive dialects. If you want an example Siena with its contrada's.
Italians can get arsey if you have certain pastas with the certain sauces.
EDIT - FOOD IS NO JOKES ;)
