Never been through that part of the country. I should take a road trip.

It's high desert (Great Basin).....I love that country but don't miss living there....
The country's full of descendants of the old Basquo's that came over as indentured herders for the big sheep outfits back in the early 20th century...some of the most honest hard working people I've ever been around.....
Dam good cooks too...especially when sheep are involved....

To be fair it has all been commercial stuff.


That's the problem with most commercial stuff, it's scraps, fat and spice. Which is why I don't mind making my own, because I know it's real meat and I don't have to poor half of it off as rendered fat when I cook it.

Fieldgrade, Pete, the fellow who made the Chorizo at Lemiere's (sp?) in Battle Mountain moved to Carson City, and has a breakfast and lunch restaurant called the "Basque Deli". He brought his chorizo recipe with him, and has a meat counter in the restaurant.
We used to drive to Battle Mountain and fill up an ice chest to bring home. Now he's down the street.
You are correct, though, best chorizo ever.

I made some out of elk one year. We ran out really quickly. Good meat.

I knew he moved to Carson but I heard recently that he was out of it and relatives were now running the show....don't know if it's true or not though as I retired to ID twelve years ago......if true I hope they haven't "modernized" anything....

I know what you mean about filling the cooler with orders for friends....I usually bought about 10 pounds on my way to Elko and another 50 on my return home......

Sure miss that Chirizo.....good memories though....
