My question is regarding the type of meat used in this meat and chickpea dish (stew?). Is it always calf? Of course, in English I need to specify: no-one but the bravest would order a "head and foot" stew" without knowing what animal it came from, and even then...
UK Eng please. Thanks in advance. |

| Reference: Looks like various meats are possible...
Reference information: I've been doing a bit of research and just wanted to confirm what Andrew said--it looks like it can be either veal, lamb, or pork, although the preference seems to tend towards beef.
"Try the revuelto de ajos tiernos y gambas (eggs scrambled with young garlic and shrimp), or the famous cap-i-pota (stewed head and hoof of pork). "
"Marta suggests I try cap i pota, which contains hairy bits of pig snout, chunks of tripe and other unmentionables and is richly, gelatinously savoury. "
You probably saw that this came up on proz before, when Sheila said it could be made from a variety of animals:
"I have never eaten this (and don't fancy it either), but it does seem it can be made of the heads and hooves of different animals - lamb, pig, calf etc. It appears to be a terrine made with gelatine. "

Can you consult the client to find out which meat they use in their cap i pota?
