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.
