i had proper talho, espetada last night.

a madeiran specialty, chunks of beef skewered on a long heavy skewer and roasted over coals/fire.

you get a bit of everything, char, smoking, and juicy rare parts, the procedure of pulling the pieces off the shared sticks and the juices dripping into your bread (i didn't eat it, but i love that juice), man, it's not to be missed.

for sure, as soon as possible i need to have one of these madeiran fire pit/grill/oven things and a walk in fridge with a carcass there i can cut off strips and stick on the skewer... it's divine, absolutely divine.

100% the bitcoin atlantis event MUST include a mass espetada meal, i hope they have it planned.

especially, if they can source it from the madeira beef farmers. there is a few of them out there, and their meat is not at any kind of premium, just hard to find.

very likely the beef will need to be at least partly Azores sourced. those islands are covered in cows. 30% of portuguese milk comes from them, and since 2015, a lot of that milk is from grass fed.
