A farewell dinner for JC.

Whereas chorizo is a classic Spanish/Portuguese sausage made of pork, an alternative made of chicken was developed by Jewish immigrants, who wouldn’t eat pork.

Combined with pineapple — a combination that I wouldn’t have imagined in a billion years — the salty fattiness of the sausage paired most intriguingly with the tart sweetness of the fruit.
