| Cavalo is horse.... |
This is why if you don't know the word you don't eat it :) Look at the last thing on the menu. I saw the listing on the Portuguese side and wanted to know how it translated in English. Turns out they didn't want it translated in English..... Cavalo is horse.
This is at the Sheraton in Rio. From what I have heard the cut of meat is really tough but I think I will pass this time around.
Tchau,

Turns out it's not horse... read what a friend of mine sent me explaining the dish. I feel so much better!!
ReplyDeleteIt is not actually horse meat, lol. "Beef a cavalo is a traditional dish in Brazil and Portugal. It consists of a grilled, sometimes deep fried steak, with fried eggs on top. It is usually served with rice and beans and a salad. Its name literally means "horseback-riding steak", as an allusion to the appearance that the fried eggs are "riding" the steak ." : )
