I must admit that this picture looks like the 3D version of reality; one feels an impulse to pick a spoon and start consuming it.

Corandier is the big trick; most used in cooking in this region of Alentejo as in the whole Southern part (Algarve), is practicaly ignored in the North, where i live. My wife uses it, though; you can't cook cockles without it.
Sarapatel is a dish made with little sautee offal cubes of pork, goat kid or lamb.
It was born in high Alentejo and was adopted and adapted in Brazil and Portuguese India (Goa Damão and Diu).
In Goa they make it with pork meat, kidney, liver and heart. Spices are Indian pepper, clove, saffron, cinnamon, corandier, cumin, ginger, garlik and tamarind. Also optional picked onnion and vinegar.
In Portugal they use more the lamb and goat and the spices differ a bit; cooked blood is a vital part.
Next month i will visit my daughter in Lisbon and will go a typical restaurant in the House of Goa, with the strong intent to taste their sarapatel.

Never knew I had this until I was thumbing through some of my old photos today.

I discretely took this picture at the Aguinaldo House/Shrine in Kawit Cavite back in 2005. Photography is prohibited in all museums/shrines in the Philippines.
You can see the two slam fire rifles similar to Kinos.


The other two bare rifles look to be Remington Rolling Blocks minus the wood stocks. Don't remember the info on the bottom sword. And sorry, I didn't get a chance to take a pic of the captions.
