Morcilla de Burgos

[dzop]

Its a version of blood sausage made with rice. It's
(a) not importable to the US.
(b) not carried at Despana (because of (a))
(c) apparently impossible to find US-made versions. The manager at Despana had no idea where I could track one down. The only Spanish expat that I know was similarly baffled.

I see it available at tienda.com, but I'm leery of buying blood sausage mail-order. Do any restaurants/stores in the tristate area make this?

Mi Tio along Queens Blvd in Elmhurst. they sell it at $2 per link. A big link too. just grill it and eat it. yummy.

I have ordered a number of items from La Tienda, including meats, and have been very pleased. The boxes are insulated and the items have always come in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to order anything from them, including sausages. I love morcillas also, BTY.

Getting a morcilla with real flavor & taste isn't easy. Let alone get a Burgos or Riojano version ( made with cinammon). If you're in NYC the best bet for the blood sausage fix is an Argie butcher/parilla. A fair amount of the places in Queens sell product to go.

Do you have any recommendations? I asked about Argentine butchers and morcilla in the Outer Boroughs board but didn't have too much luck.

There are a couple of places on Corona Ave but lemme do some research for you to be sure...

Mi Tio along Queens Blvd in Elmhurst. They have great morcillas about $2 per link. Its a big link too. Just grill it and eat it. yummy....

Can you elaborate on the difference between morcilla de Burgos and the morcillas carried at Despaña? I've had rice and pimenton-flavored morcillas there that I assume would've been what you were looking for.

Don't know how to describe, except that the ones at Despana don't taste the same and the manager there who I talked to said that it wasn't the same type.
