Olla-Podrida

ol-la-po-dre'da, a favorite Spanish dish. It is composed of meat and vegetables cut up fine and stewed together. It is highly seasoned with pepper and other condiments. It is equivalent to the French pot pourri. The term is applied to a musical medley also, and to writings that "contain a little of everything."
