The word tureen has appeared in five articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Aug. 28 in “Want a Rich, Rustic Taste of Spain? Head for the Hills of La Rioja” by David Farley, which mentions a restaurant called Casa Comidas Irene:
Ms. Sobrón said the lunch menu — which is delivered verbally tableside by Ana Montero, the restaurant’s only server — doesn’t change often, so diners will likely be offered something similar to what I feasted on: timbal de patata, a bowl layered with uncased chorizo stuffing, mashed potatoes, with a fried egg on top; and a tureen holding a hearty stew of smoky chorizo and red beans.
