Carcamusa

Carcamusa is a traditional dish of Spanish cuisine and a speciality of Toledo, often served as a bar snack ^{[citation needed]}. It is made from pork and seasonal vegetables stewed with tomatoes and bay leaves.^[1] It is a dish best served hot, traditionally in a small earthenware dish accompanied by a few slices of bread^{[citation needed]}. It may be also served with tomato, peas or beans spiced with hot chili pepper sauce^{[citation needed]}.

Popular culture suggests its name arises from a pun. Camush is usually game meat (often venison) but can also mean wrinkled, since the bar where it was invented was frequented by male customers of a certain age^[2] (the wrinklies or carcass) entertaining some younger girls for amusement (their muses)^{[citation needed]}.
