COCIDO MADRILEÑO_THE MADRILENIAN TIPICAL SATURDAY FOOD

In Spain we have a tipical food for every day of the week.
For example on Sunday it is usually to eat "PAELLA", on Thursday to eat "ASTURIAN BEANS",
but in Saturday we used to eat "COCIDO MADRILEÑO".

This is a very tipical winter meal at the nord  and middle areas of Spain,
due to the weather is cold and people needs calories.

This a very ancient  meal. In elderly times, due to that people usually worked hardly in the forest and in  agriculture  they need to get a lot of energy for their work.

In the past women cooked this course every day. It was  tipical subsistence food. They put vegetables (carrots, saw, onion), "garbanzos"(chickpeas), pork bones and some pieces of meat: chicken, hen or cow, It depens on the money the cooker had.
Also they put "chorizo" and "Morcilla" ( It is a kind of sausage made with the blood of the pork)
Now It is the more famous and tipical Madrilenian food togheter with the delicious "Tapas"
