The Museum describes the millers as crushed corn in the mill until it is in small grains. In daily feeding, beans, sprouts of cabbage or codbones could be added for flavor. Pigmeat appeared on holiday or in the most resourceful houses. Hence the distinction between rich and poor millions. The publication of 2019 places this tradition in Cabeceiras and neighboring municipalities.
In the recipe of rich millers presented by the Museum, intercost, bat, sausage and sausage accompany the cereal. The difference between versions also helps to read the living conditions and occasions of consumption. The same ingredient could sustain a simple meal or integrate a more abundant table.
