There used to be an old Basque butcher shop in Battle Mountain NV that had the best Chirizo I've ever tasted....made with Lamb, Beef, and Pork fat....pretty sure you would have liked it but alas...he's long gone.....
I never failed to stop and stock up on my frequent trips between Reno and Elko....boy do I miss his Chirizo...I haven't tasted anything that's even come close since.....
