Cojundongo / Cojondongo

[Jane]

I was told that `cojondongo´ is a meal well known in the Extremadura state of Spain.
I´m still wondering what it is.
Any ideas
Cuales son las comidas conocidos que sabeis?
Me encanta el Cocido Madrileño y la Mozila de Burgos(no sé si se escribe asi), tambien algunas comidas Mexicana pero no me acuerdo como se llaman.

Busqué un poco y no pude hallar nada sobre cojundongo. Quizá algún español/a podrá ayudarte.

[Rusty]

Busqué también sin darme con ella. Quizá sea cuestión de mala ortografía.

I have never heard that word (cojun...).
The right spelling is morcilla:it's my son's favourite dish.
Typical too are paella and gazpacho. Paella is a rice dish and gazpacho is a delicious cold tomato soup.

David, I ´ve been called many things, but I´ve never been considered to be a cannibal. Thanks for giving me another option.
Cocido Madrileño es una comida tipíca de Madrid, pero estoy seguro que ya lo sabes.

David, I would only accuse Jane of being a cannibal if she ate madrileño cocido (not cocido madrileño)...But being such a nice lady I'm sure she never would.

Now, that is one of the names I´m familiar with.
María Jose, cuál es tu comida favorita (española)?

[Iris]

Probably gazpacho and Spanish omelette. I also like arroz a banda (paella without the trimmings) And yours?

Hay albóndigas de Córdoba hecho de bacalao que me gustan, pero nunca los vi afuera de Córdoba. Tambien me gustan pimientos padrón y un buen tortel hecho fresco.

Vi una receta de torta de bellotas que estaba incluido con la receta para cojondongo . Nunca sabia que las bellotas eran comestibles. Siempre pensaba que la bellota fuera una delícia para las ardillas y cerdos nada más.

Yes, I was just playing with ya. Sorry.

[Jane]

I knew you were. Don´t apologize.
So what are some of the mexican foods you really enjoy?

[Jane]

I meant to write cojondongo not cojundongo.

[Jane]

David, I´m still waiting to hear about some of your favourite Mexican food.
And the rest of the members too, pleaseeeeeee, Let´s talk about the different spanish food!

[sosia]

for example:


pimientos del piquillo rellenos de carne
stuffed "piquillo" paprika (you can stuff them with meat, fish,...)
yummy (¡deliciosos!)

[poli]

Sosia,
Paprika is pimentón. (sweet chilli/chile powder). Over here pimientos piquillos are unavailable fresh, but you can find them canned or in jars in specialty food stores. Sometimes you can find them in Spanish restaurants usually stuffed with bacalao and, at the restaurant where I had it, not as good as they are in Spain.

That´s right. I saw your post but I forgot about it.

One thing I really like are the chiles rellenos. You take a large chile poblano which is about the size of a bell pepper and not spicy at all. You slice it open on one side and you remove the seeds and viens. There are different kinds of fillings, one I like is ground beef with different sweet fruits and nuts and cheese. The chile is filled with this mixture, then it's dunked in milk and breaded with flour and deep fat fried. (The filling is cooked previously and still hot.)

Of course there are other types of chile relleno like the ones that only have cheese inside, but they aren't as good.

[sosia]

@ poli --> then how I say pimientos rellenos ¿Stuffed peppers?
saludos

[poli]

Yes stuffed peppers. Stuffed peppers American style consists of big green
bell peppers stuffed with chopped meat(never fish) and baked in an oven with thin tomato sauce sometimes sweetened with sugar and/or raisins.
