Portuguese term or phrase: lambareiro
'A Sopa da Pedra é um prato tradicional de Almeirim, que teve origem numa lenda que envolve um frade "lambareiro e espertalhão".'

I've managed to find English versions of this story, but I can't figure out the equivalent of 'lambareiro'.

Thanks in advance for your help!
