Left or Right?

On the right, standard American breakfast.
On the left, too much chorizo and a bit of cheese version.

Eggs came from the backyard.
Cost for left, $2.50.
Cost for rent right, 90ยข.

I don't understand. What is "too much chorizo"?

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 79d (5 replies)

A quarter pound of chorizo to three eggs was great flavor-wise but didn't have enough eggs to be recognizably eggs.

I fail to see the issue

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 79d

If you like your scramble on the softer side then the only issue is it's photogenicness.

I'd swap the toast for a flour tortilla and make a breakfast burrito.

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 79d

The kitchen wasn't clean enough for me to make tortillas.

Archangel1313@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 79d

The eggs are just there to hold the chorizo together.

Left all day every day. No such thing as too much chorizo

That's supposed to be chorizo and cheese? I thought it was fried chicken ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I'll take the chorizo.

Also: Where? Home made or a restaurant? Just curiois where suasage and egg ends up cheaper than chorizo and cheese, because where I'm at the prices would be flipped.

Store bought pork on both plates. The chorizo was more expensive than the links. Links were 14 for $2.52 and I used 4. The chorizo was almost $3 and I used half of it and about 30ยข worth of cheese.

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 79d

Chorizo, egg and cheese. In that order.

psycho_driver@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 79d (1 reply)

Right.

Azzu@leminal.space · 3 pts · 79d

Same for me, just because I kinda need my food to have different colors

Everyone is saying left, and while I agree chorizo is great, I just love those little meat tubes. Gimme the sausage links all day every day please.

Masamune@piefed.social · 4 pts · 79d

meat tubes

In this economy?

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 79d

There's an economy?

Jerb322@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 79d

Left, all day.

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 79d (2 replies)

Is this the same ingredients?

If you open the chorizo up, fry them down, then mix into the eggs I bet it tastes better and is less greasy (though the added cheese might counter that out)

The left sounds better.

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 79d (1 reply)

Dropped the chorizo into the pan, cooked it, added the eggs, mixed until the eggs were about half cooked, then added the cheese. Right got butter, left got chorizo fat.

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 79d

That sounds good. Iโ€™m on team chorizo.

Right minus the heart disease sticks.

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 79d (2 replies)

What is your go to substitute for heart disease sticks?

zewm@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 79d (1 reply)

Nothing, just the rest alone is fine. Maybe a small side of grits?

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 79d

I did seriously consider grits but with everything else I thought I was going to be up that much.

lemmylump@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 79d

Because genetically I'm in a high risk of developing hypertension and high cholesterol and I don't feel like taking a range of pills my parents and siblings do for the rest of my life, I cannot and do not eat any of that. The eggs would be okay but I'm intolerant to them.

So I'll just admire the picture.
