Do you say chorizo in English?
Chef's answer
The usual pronunciation in English is chuh-REE-zoh, although chuh-REE-soh, chorr-EE-zoh and chorr-EE-soh (-orr as in sorry) are also certified as pronunciations in British dictionaries. But in mimicking a European Spanish pronunciation, the "z" can also be pronounced as "th" as in 'think'.
