What are basque meat dishes - i cant find any info on it for my oral!!! please help?

Answer 1

Basque cuisine refers to the typical dishes and ingredients of the cuisine of the Basque people of Spain and France.

Basque meat specialties include "txerri patak" (pig’s feet), the famous "Morcilla" (blood sausage) and "Lengua a la Tolosana" (calf’s tongue) which is simmered in wine with tomatoes and onion.

Favorites include beef (preferably of young animals), sheep and lamb, pork, and fowl (chicken, quail, partridge, woodcock). A common Basque sausage, chorizo, is made from meat and pork fat, seasoned with paprika, salt, and garlic. It is then stuffed into casings and dried. It can later be fried or cooked. Hams are cured, care being taken to avoid too much salt. French Basques take pride in their confit d’oie, or goose fried in its own fat.
