Just Getting Started

Well, you're not going to find me putting dry ass white chicken meat in my eggs. Chorizo is a delicious source of protein, and at a ratio of 1oz per egg, the amount of rendered pig fat is just right for frying up the eggs. With some pickled red onions topping it off? Oh boy, good stuff.

When it comes to cured chorizo, I'm partial to the Portuguese style. The rustic coarseness of the meat and the fine balance of smoke, paprika, and fat -- quite sublime, really.

I do not joke about chorizo. And also, I don't think the "food noise" in my head is letting up much.

Lifelong pescatarian, highly recommend plant based chorizo! Great with eggs or Ramen . Staple in my house. Save a pig and eat a plant Maybe instead of bits of coal you'll recreate cushion cut diamonds

highly recommend plant based chorizo!

Oh hell yeah, I do love me some soyrizo. I make tofu from dried soy beans every now and then, and the "waste" from that process ("okara" is the Japanese term for it) makes fantastic soyrizo. Worked for a butcher for a while who I kept trying to talk into offering okara-based sausages, but they never went for it.

I saw a TikTok the other day of a woman who'd been buying soy chorizo as a mistake. Couldn't even tell the difference. She saw 'soy chorizo' and thought the brand name translated to 'I am chorizo'

That's certainly enough for me to try it!

I can't even make 125 without protein shakes.

So, 5 days trying to just break 100g of protein with actual food hasn't gone well. Today I broke down and had some Greek yogurt + protein powder, and that just made me sad. Yogurt's great for marinading Tandoori chicken or making biryani, but just scooping the stuff into my food hole does not make me happy at all.

Try the Siggi's brand it has 15-16g of protein, 150 calories and it tastes like you are eating a dessert.

Ratio has a protein yogurt that also happens to be keto. 25g protein. The key lime one is delicious.
