I can't cook the stuff because of that. I start looking at it too closely and then I can't eat it. Occasionally though, my husband will make it as breakfast burritos with eggs, potatoes and cheese and then? It's pretty darn good... as long as I don't look at it too closely and think about it too much. heh.

I hear ya! The stuff tastes great, but mostly because of the spices they add. So, I tried Soyrizo once. It's vegan, using soy in place of piggy face parts and using the same spices. The flavor was good, but the texture was a little wierd. But in a burrioto with eggs and cheese with black beans, you hardly noticed. I suppose I could get a chorizo recipe, and sub out the meat with something else slightly more palatable.
