Sobra ko 'tong favorite. I don't get to eat it anymore though. My Mom's housekeeper cooked a really mean porksteak... I miss it! But thanks to this, I'm inspired to prepare my own for my household naman. Salamat sa pagshare!

Stel: hi dearie, yah liempo's all right. What is that in English? 'Kasim' is the shoulder isn't it?

Rowena: Really!!? So now, not just Spanish even Italians have bistek. I wonder where else have this corrupted word. Must be just a way of adapting the 'beef steak' to the local language.

Funny thing! In Italy, a steak is called a bistecca! And would agree, it would seem that all those names would be terms for the english beefsteak....oh well. La Bodeguita sounds like my kind of restaurant. I was wondering....is it common to take things home in a 'doggie bag'? I know, it's such an american thing :-P and in Italy it's not common practice at all. Just wondered about England.

Wow, all my life too I thought that "bistek" was a corruption of beef steak. Interesting!
