(Redirected from Carcamusa)
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.[1]
The origin of the name "carcamusas" is unclear. One theory attributes it to the owner of the restaurant Bar Ludeña in the mid 20th century, who served the dish to a clientele consisting of older men, known as "carcas," and the younger women they considered their muses, or "musas."[2]
