Bocadillo de carne de caballo

(Bocata de carne de caballo)

Bocadillo de carne de caballo is a traditional sandwich that’s filled with horse meat. Typically, a Spanish-style baguette called barra de pan is sliced in half lengthwise, and it is then stuffed with pieces of roasted, fried, or grilled horse meat.


Other common ingredients added to the sandwich’s filling include young garlic, slices of cheese, crispy-fried bacon, beans, and onions. This variety of the Spanish bocadillo sandwich is typically served with accompaniments such as a glass of cold beer or red wine, a cup of coffee, olives, and peanuts on the side.


Horse meat sandwiches are especially popular in lunch bars in Valencia.
