Eating Colombian hot dog with relish…

Chorizo Colombiano Hotdog

Miss South has written with glee about our recent dalliance with the delightful Chorizo Colombiano: what she didn’t mention was what we did with the remaining chorizos. After returning to the Pennines with my chorizo I toyed with various options for enjoying it, but opted for the simple but delicious option of a spicy hot dog one night after getting back from a day in the office. Paired with some Banana Ketchup which I’d also picked up in Brixton market, this was a fantastic and low intensity meal, and a great way to enjoy the garlicky goodness of this south American sausage.
