A question about "Longanisa" sausage...?
I do alot of cooking as a personal chef. I'm very familiar with various meat products. At a Mexican grocery store, I came across "longanisa". I used it in a recipe and it was very similar to the Mexican style "chorizo"..a spicy foremeat/sausage. However, the texture of the meat was a bit more coarse in the casing. What is the difference between the two? Could it be a takeoff of the Portuguese "Linguisa"? I know that the Hawaiians & Filipinos use a "longaniza" that has a sweet flavor and based on the Chinese style sausage known as "lop cheung".

I asked my co-worker this who is Mexican. She said that there's not a big difference between chorizo and longanisa. They're relatively the same. The only difference is that longanisa is more 'mexian style' in that it is usually more spicy and contains a lot more spices. Chorizo, on the other hand, would be considered an 'american style' sausage whereas it is less spicy and has less spices. I also asked about texture, and she said there shouldn't be a difference. Again, longanisa (mexican style) sausage has more spices. Hope this helps.

Chorizo and Longaniza are both cooked differently. With chorizo there are various ways to cook it such as chorizo and egg which is my personal favorite. When cooking Longaniza, you just fry it until cooked until desired (I personally like mine tostado a little) and then you eat it with different dishes such as egg and rice. Like chorizo you cannot combine longaniza and egg. the best way to think about it is like corned beef or span, you cook it as a dish alone. I hope I helped you out a little. I don't like cooking at all but I do like eating. =)

they're the same thing, but the name changes in different placs in mexico. Real chorizo as I like to call it, is really hard to find in the US. The real thing should you find it, is like a sausage and doesnt melt into the pan. It stays uniform with a meaty texture.
