I don't understand. What is "too much chorizo"?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A quarter pound of chorizo to three eggs was great flavor-wise but didn't have enough eggs to be recognizably eggs.

If you like your scramble on the softer side then the only issue is it's photogenicness.

[–] RumAndCreole@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd swap the toast for a flour tortilla and make a breakfast burrito.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The kitchen wasn't clean enough for me to make tortillas.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

The eggs are just there to hold the chorizo together.

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Left all day every day. No such thing as too much chorizo

Same for me, just because I kinda need my food to have different colors

That's supposed to be chorizo and cheese? I thought it was fried chicken 😮

I'll take the chorizo.

Also: Where? Home made or a restaurant? Just curiois where suasage and egg ends up cheaper than chorizo and cheese, because where I'm at the prices would be flipped.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Store bought pork on both plates. The chorizo was more expensive than the links. Links were 14 for $2.52 and I used 4. The chorizo was almost $3 and I used half of it and about 30¢ worth of cheese.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Chorizo, egg and cheese. In that order.

[–] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone is saying left, and while I agree chorizo is great, I just love those little meat tubes. Gimme the sausage links all day every day please.

[–] Masamune@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

meat tubes

😂😂😂

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ll take one of each, please. Thank you!

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Left, all day.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's an economy?

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right minus the heart disease sticks.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What is your go to substitute for heart disease sticks?

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing, just the rest alone is fine. Maybe a small side of grits?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I did seriously consider grits but with everything else I thought I was going to be up that much.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is this the same ingredients?

If you open the chorizo up, fry them down, then mix into the eggs I bet it tastes better and is less greasy (though the added cheese might counter that out)

The left sounds better.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dropped the chorizo into the pan, cooked it, added the eggs, mixed until the eggs were about half cooked, then added the cheese. Right got butter, left got chorizo fat.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That sounds good. I’m on team chorizo.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because genetically I'm in a high risk of developing hypertension and high cholesterol and I don't feel like taking a range of pills my parents and siblings do for the rest of my life, I cannot and do not eat any of that. The eggs would be okay but I'm intolerant to them.

So I'll just admire the picture.
