Cachopo is a dish characteristic of Asturian cuisine.[1] It consists of two large veal fillets and includes ham and cheese, and typically has a side of french fries (known there as "patatas fritas"). The dish is eaten fried and hot after being breaded in eggs and breadcrumbs, and it is usually served garnished with potatoes, peppers, or mushrooms.[1]

The first evidence of the cachopo dish is from doctor Gaspar Casal, in the early eighteenth century.[2]

There are multiple variations of this dish including fish cachopos, chicken or pork cachopos stuffed with seafood, meat, mushrooms, peppers, cheese, asparagus, etc.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
