Spanish cuisine is commonly known as "mojo picón". Some classic dishes in the Canary Islands include papas arrugadas, almogrote, frangollo, rabbit in "salmorejo sauce", and stewed goat. Some popular desserts are: truchas (pastries filled with sweet potato or pumpkin), roasted gofio (a gofio-based dough with nuts and honey), príncipe alberto (a mousse-like preparation with almonds, coffee, and chocolate) and quesillo (a variety of flan made with condensed milk) Wineries are common in the islands. However, only Malvasia wine from Lanzarote has gained international recognition. A popular Cantabrian dish is "cocido montañés" (highlander stew), a rich stew made with beans, cabbage, and pork.
