I usually buy the D'Artagnan Chorizo from Wegmans.

This is what I made with it for breakfast last week

V, how does the Despana version compare to the D'Artagnan one (I bet its much better)?

[Vadouvan]

Way better that D'art and palacios.

NICE percy....patatas bravas con chorizo.......

They also have the new Fermin Iberico chorizo.......the Salchichon rocks.

FWIW, they sell the despana morcilla at dibrunos on chestnut.

DiBruno's (9th Street, probably Chestnut as well) is now carrying pata negra from, I believe, La Tienda. While the jamon won't be available until 2007, they do have chorizo and lomo. The sample of chorizo I tried was truly amazing. But beware sticker shock: $40/lb. I opted for a 1/4 lb, and I made it stretch through about a week as an app during my nightly cocktail hour. The lomo is $80/lb. Anybody's guess what the jamon will cost...

I also happened to spot this piece about La Tienda in the NYT last Sunday: "Do You Want to Visit Your Ham?"

La Tienda is just an online retail store and has nothing to do with the hams other than selling it and other "spanish products" on thier website.

The product is actually imported by Fermin USA who sells it to La Tienda as well as Dibrunos.

Dibrunos does not buy from La Tienda.

Box of goodies arrived from La Tienda - Horchata, 2 different Chorizo, 'Santa Teresa' Artisan Membrillo and Amalia 'Chocolate a la Taza'

The Chorizo includes a picante one and the famous Iberico.
