===Food and drink=== {{main|Asturian cuisine}} [[File:Fabada y sidra.jpg|thumb|''Fabada asturiana'' and sidra (cider), a typical dish of Asturias]] While Asturias is especially known for its [[seafood]], the most famous regional dish is ''[[Fabada Asturiana|fabada asturiana]]'', a rich stew typically made with large white [[broad bean|beans]] (''fabes''), shoulder of [[pork]] (''lacón''), black pudding (''[[morcilla]]''), and spicy [[sausage]] (''[[chorizo]]''). [[Apple]] groves foster the production of the region's traditional alcoholic drink, a natural [[cider]] (''sidra''). Since it is natural and bottled without gas, it produces a weak carbonation, and when Asturian cider is served, it is poured in a particular way, ''el escanciado'': the bottle is held above the head allowing for a long vertical pour, causing the cider to be aerated as it splashes into the glass below. After drinking most of the content, it is customary to splash a little out onto the ground, as a way to clean the glass of any [[lees (fermentation)|lees]] for the next serving. Traditionally, the same glass is refilled and passed around, with everyone drinking from it in turn. Asturian [[cheese]]s, especially [[Cabrales cheese|Cabrales]], are also eaten throughout Spain and beyond; Asturias is often called "the land of cheeses" (''el país de los quesos'').
