'stache #19 - bigote de chorizo con vino e cebola
Chorizo con vino e cebola (chorizo with wine and onion) was first 'stached by Henry the Navigator while he lollygagged his way down the coast of West Africa in the 1440s after centuries without meatmoustaching during the Black Death. The global obsession with salt popularized and secured a place in history for this meaty lip. The wine and onion addition was an obvious pretension on Henry's part to look more French. The application of this 'stache is quite dangerous and should be accompanied by a fine Tempranillo. This moustache is best worn in months starting with the letter J.
