No. They are not the same, but they are similar. Chorizo is mainly made from pork and various spices, which make it Scoville. On the other hand, regular sausage can be made from beef, pork, or turkey. It is made from raw meat and spiced with fennel or anise, giving it a less spicy flavor. Regarding how they are used, regular sausages are mainly served during breakfast, while chorizo is used in various dishes. Both have different flavors, meaning they can be used in a more extensive pallet of dishes.
