Carcamusas Explained

Carcamusas is a culinary specialty of Toledo, Spain, generally served as a tapa in bars. It consists of a stew of lean pork with a moderately spicy tomato sauce and peas.[1] [2] It is traditionally served in an earthenware casserole, along with potatoes and bread.

Popular culture suggests its name arises from a pun in the mid 20th century.
