Gifted Gourmet, I wish that I could ship it all out to you. I know how much i would miss it. I guess you will just have to come home for a visit and to pile on a few pounds!

I love all of the messages in this topic - you are all really inspiring and I feel like a bit of a fraud offering up my opinion but I have to say that when autumn is in full swing and it is cooler I crave english sausages from my local butcher, heaps of mashed potatoes, hot mustard and thick onion gravy that I make with Marsala. It is actually a lovely, sunny day in London today and I am lunching on a salad, but oh for those sausages...

Let me set out my stall right away. I am an enthusiastic amateur living and enjoying cooking and eating out in London. I am new to egullet, and in fact I have never posted a question on a website before, but the forum looks great so here goes. Just got back from a week in and around Barcelona with my girlfriend. We had the most amazing meal at El Raco can Farbes (I cannot rate it highly enough) and in La Boqueria I bought some chorizo. I love chorizo just sliced with some hard cheese but I would love any suggestions that anyone might have for cooking it for friends who are coming on Saturday. Thanks
