The Chozo are an ancient race of bird-people responsible for the technology and training that make Samus Aran space's most famous bounty hunter. Chorizo is a spicy, pepper-based Spanish sausage with regional variations in Latin America. Is this a version of chorizo made
by Chozo, or
out of Chozo (which I imagine would have a taste somewhere between pork and chicken)? Neither: the names sound similar, that's all. The names sound similar.
Young vegetarian cooks are often told that tofu is a food which will absorb the flavors of anything it is cooked with, "like magic!" This is a vicious lie, designed to drive novices away from the vegetarian lifestyle. Tofu is damn near inert when unprocessed, and requires freezing, boiling, compressing, stretching on a rack, or rolling downhill in a nail-studded barrel before it will become porous to flavor. This recipe takes advantage of the relative impermeability of tofu to create a pleasing variance of color in the sausages, similar to real ground chozo. I mean chuck, ground chuck.
Mushroom Crepes appear as a recovery item in the Paper Mario series. Generally, recovery items from this series are the kind of fare you might find in a Japanese diner, albeit one which specialised in turtle and mushroom plates. It's made from an Ultra Shroom and a Cake Mix, or a Shroom Shake and a Cake Mix in the Thousand-Year Door. Heals 30 HP, filling and delicious.
