My answers:
1) I forget, but I will look up the difference in the archives, even though it doesn’t matter, they are both delicious.
2) I forget, but I remember that it is delicious. The etymology doesn’t matter if it is yummy.
3) What I make as often as I can, to give my meals a guatemalan touch of goodness.
Ha-ha-ha, how did I do, Rudy ?

        Ja-ja-ja, ‘abogado del diablo’ solo en los ojos de oficiales que sigan abusar a mis amigos inmigrantes. En los ojos de mis amigos hispanos y indigenas, soy angel. 😉

Saludos!
Si mal no recuerdo la diferencia entre chorizo y longaniza es de tamaño y en las especias usadas para sazonar a cada uno.
Chirmol recuerdo haber leido recientemente que deriva de una palabra quiche, que significa simplemente un “revoltijo” de algo (o confusion, relajo); guacamol, no estoy seguro. Suena a nahuatl pero no se nada mas al respecto por ahora.

  Hola José Byron, en Guatemala los chorizos son colorados y las longanizas blancas. Chirmol se deriba del Nahualt chilimole o salsa de chile. En realidad, guacamole es salsa de aguacate. En Guatemala se ha perdido la e final de mole y sólo decimos guacamol y chirmol.
