Is chorizo considered spicy?

I grew up eating extremely spicy foods so this question had never crossed my mind before today. I made beans with chorizo to go with our dinner today and gave some to my 10m old. Seemed to enjoy it, but after a few bites asked for water and drank so much of it . Then I worried that I accidentally gave her something she probably wasn’t ready for. Should I have waited? 🫣

There's a few different versions you can buy, I've bought a spicy one before and my little one was the same so I switched to a mild one x

I used Cacique soy chorizo .

No I think it would have been fine unless you made it super spicy. I think it’s a usually spicy ish but they will get used to it I would have given it to my kids no problem. And if they drink water then awesome haha

Thank you . I didn’t add any other spice just half of the chorizo. I guess she’ll develop a love for spice like me lol

My baby girl ♥ chorizo & eggs and now demands that I share (my) hot tortilla chips with her. She also wants 🧄🌶 Cholula on her food 24-7 😆

Haha yep that’s how we are. My husbands Honduran and I’m Korean and we loooove our spice

my toddler loves chorizo!! i don’t think it’s spicy haha

@Cassandra that’s awesome! How old is she?

Never been spicy to me I grew up eating it and my oldest been eating it for forever

It was too spicy for my kid at first but now he can eat it n luvs it. My husband always does half a tube of it too

I buy the same brand, I find it to be mildly spicy. But my husband and son are both a little bit sensitive to spice.

@Melissa my husband used to be sensitive to spice too. But after years of being with me he had to learn to build his tolerance for it 🤭

@Alma same 😀

It depends on the chorizo. Some are and some arnt. Chorizo is also very salty so could be that making little one want water

Is it more likely that it's too salty? That would also cause thirst. Might not have been too spicy

I find it could be spicy in quite sensitive to spice so anything like that I’d find spicy and my kids do too. I think it could also be like Lisa said too maybe the salt amount x

I imagine it's because of the saltiness that they were thirsty.

@Alma 17 months 🥰 I swear by Supremo brand pork chorizo ♥
