I don't call Linguica Chorizo. That's like saying kielbasa is Chorizo.

Spanish chorizo is well, cured and "hard" (I hate the flavor, it
tastes spoiled - I've tried more than one so it's a characteristic,
not the fault of the purveyor) and fresh is the consistency of
uncooked Italian sausage. I love fresh Spanish chorizo!
