Here are 5 other things you need to know about chorizo:

1. Chorizo’s original name was Spicy Fucking Sausage.
2. In ancient times, people sought to organize the world around them into fundamental elements, such as earth, air, fire, and chorizo.
3. Chorizo flows downhill. In the southern hemisphere, however, chorizo flows my tears.
4. The pigs from which chorizo is harvested undergo a strict training regimen to ensure a consistent product. This training includes, but is not limited to: two-finger push-ups, burpees, one-armed ab rollers, and repeated readings of ‘The Celestine Prophecy’.
5. Never expose chorizo to bright light (especially sunlight, which will kill it); never get it wet; and, most importantly: no matter how much it cries or begs, never, ever feed it after midnight.
