Termite dust - from part of the flat's woodwork which we had already treated.

It is interesting that the Brazilian Portuguese for termite is cupim. This is also the name for a cut of beef - the somewhat fatty "hump" that some cattle have, especially the Indian zebus, which are common here. I suspect it is because the hump may look like a rather sloppy termites nest - but am not sure. Whatever the etymology, it seems strange to be offered termite in a classy restaurant.
