I love chorizo and also didn’t consider that it can be stored un-cold!
These sound yummy.
the sodium is of course a concern and I would have to exercise good moderation.
I didn't realize that kids up there weren't still doing school at home. So I guess you would have to finish off the entire package of sausages before he gets home from school. Wouldn't it just be easier to ask him for special dispensation like your wife gets with the prosciutto?
When I googled Chinese tamale it said Zongzi---is that the same thing?
Lots of sausages are cured & dried in a way that makes them shelf stable. Have you not seen sausages hanging in a deli? Lots of salami, summer sausage, pepperoni are often available shelf stable. I have received food gift baskets that have those kinds of sausages along with crackers and cheeses----gift baskets are not refrigerated.
In the big picture of nutrition, sodium is the least dangerous part of your diet. You guys eat an awful lot of sugar and refined carbs. But yes, all sausages contain a lot of sodium.
