My local Kroger store surprised me the other day when they had chorizo sausage in one pound “fatties”.  Surprised as much by the price as the fact that they had some.  Ninety-nine cents apiece!  I would have bought more than the half dozen I did but I didn’t want to be tagged as a hoarder.  I left one out and froze the rest for later.  I am not at all surprised that there are recipes out there for cooking these things whole.
