Honey also sweetens French toast
Vive Cabeceiras · Cabeceiras · food promotion from March 2012

A sweet helps count the promotion of local flavors.

In the gastronomic program from 23 to 25 March 2012, Cabeceiras presented the roasted goat as a specialty and the French toast with honey as regional sweet. The municipal announcement also associates the table with green wine, meat and honey. This combination shows how gastronomic dissemination brings products and preparations closer together. It is the historical program of that edition, not a current menu nor an assignment of exclusive origin of French toast to the municipality. The 2015 guide adds a preparation with milk and honey. Compare it to the wine version of Dídia Teixeira: the same name can store different recipes.
