Portuguese bread with Chourico
 

I am looking for any information on a Portuguese meat bread. My
grandmother was 100% Portuguese and she used to make this wonderful
bread. I know what my family calls it but I do not know how to spell
it or even if my family pronounces it correctly since my grandmother
did not teach her children Portuguese.

We pronounce this bread as Falad with Fa and la just like in the song
doe a dear. If you aren't familiar with that Fa is pronounced similar
to ma in mama and la is also pronounced similar to ma in mama.

I know that this bread is made with Chourico (sometimes Linguica
instead) and contains other meats. There are no other ingredients
other than the bread and the meat. The bread is rolled out and the
meat is put on top and then the bread is folded/rolled - rolled but
more in an oval than a circle.

If anyone is familiar with this bread, I am looking for the correct
spelling of the name (or alternate names) as well as what other meats
are in this bread.

Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Look up "pão com chouriço". I do not think there are any more specific
names for it.

There's a company (Gaspar's Sausage) in Dartmouth, MA, that will
overnight-ship on ice chourico, linguica, morcella, salpicao, and any
other Portuguese sausage you can think of plus coffee syrup and various
spices. It's good quality and the people are nice to deal with on the
phone.

(508) 998-2012 384 Faunce Corner Rd North Dartmouth, MA

Note that if you Google and order through their website, you are dealing
with a third party and the cost per lb. is higher.

I have no connection to this company other than ordering from them
occasionally since we moved to Colorado.

Mass. to Furtado's http://www.furtados.com to get our Chourico and
Linguica for our Kale soup or boiled dinners, sure do miss that. As
far as Chourico which we pronounced with out the "O" nothing compares
to the Portuguese style.

Sorry about the rant but you brought back memories
