Spanish term

morro de ternera

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink Food
morro de ternera con vinagreta de verduritas: morro means snout for pork, but apparently, if it's beef, this is the part where the head is joined to the neck... any idea what this cut of meat is called in English?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 calf/cow lips
4 veal/beef muzzle
2 chucked beef

Isabelle, if you google "cow lips" coupled with "recipe" you'll find more recipes than you ever wanted to know about, given the ingredient. Maybe we can have a potlock for the next powwow here in Spain and give it a try.
Ronnie McKee Nov 6, 2006:
I think you should check on this. There is something else called mollejas that are glands up around where you are describing when referring to cattle or sheep, but morros in the case of ternera......I think it must be lips.

calf/cow lips

I'm pretty sure what you are looking for here is lips, particularly in Spain and if you are talking about ternera.

Note from asker:
Cow's/calf's lips doesn't come up anywhere on google and sounds a little gruesome... It's supposed to be the part right below the chin.... "Chucked" doesn't work either as it's the top part, same reason... Sorry!
Sounds absolutely vile but I stand corrected. Thanks a million.

No it doesn't go with her explanation, but here in Navarra, "morros de ternera" are big deal, and its lips. An thanks!

veal/beef muzzle

is what I would call this

‘What’s good today’, I ask Sandro, Giovanni’s son. ‘Veal muzzle’, he says, chewing, half a rubbery bovine nostril hanging from his mouth, for effect. ‘Or’. ‘Or the mutton that just came in. Like you like it. Very dark meat. Very flavourful. Tripe? It's excellent. No, but try the muzzle. You love it, and it loves you. Lip to lip.’ ‘Eight portions of mutton then. Big dinner party tonight’.
