Cocido montañés is a warm and heavy dish whose origin is the 17th century and it was cooked to fight against the cold and wet climate in the Cantabrian mountains. For that reason it is most commonly eaten during winter and at the largest meal of the day, lunch. The pork is killed during the autumn and preserved to be used during winter. As it is a heavy, high-calorie meal, it is served as a main course.

Ingredients

Cocido montañés is made with two vegetable ingredients: dried large white beans (soaked overnight before use) and collard greens (berza). Some recipes use local red bean caricu montañés instead of white beans or cabbage instead of hard-to-find collard greens. The rest of the elements of this recipe are known as compangu which refers to the meat ingredients from the pig slaughter: bacon (tocino), pork ribs (costilla), black pudding (morcilla) and sausage (chorizo).

gollark: RPNCalcV4 is kind of in the osmarkscalculator™ spirit, but more of a programming language/expression evaluator thing.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ is basically my really overengineered/underengineered CAS/calculator, and should be feared.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ advances inevitably. Today I expanded the predicate system, so you can write horrific patterns like `1#Or[2, 3]` to specify that something must be 1, 2 or 3.
gollark: This is why we should write all the rules in formal logic, or osmarkscalculator™ language.
