Y la sidra escanciada para acompañar, que no falte 🍏
El cachopo se ha puesto de moda en Madrid pero en Asturias es otra cosa.
Falten los frixuelos!! Postre típico de Asturias.
Pitu de caleya, pollo de corral guisado, una maravilla.
Les fabes con almejes tamién tán buenísimes
Fabada primero, como debe ser. Con su compango.
Pastel de cabracho, el entrante perfecto.
Arroz con leche requemado como en casa de mi güela, ninguno.
