"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"

“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

Orange Juice
Orange juice in Spain, even at the corner bar, will usually be fresh squeezed. I have been eating a lot of pimientos de Padrón (I actually ate some in Padrón itself), octopus, empanadas, vino de Albariño, and jamón serrano. Here in Spain someone defending a dissertation has to invite the committee out to eat, so on Friday I had an elaborate multi-course banquet, beginning with a raw-salmon appetizer and culminating in a filet of beef and some exquisite desserts and a local coffee liqueur. There was a shell-fish course (navajas?), and a fish course as well.
This sounds so delicious. I live for jamon serrano. When I can find it, that is.
ResponderEliminarUnfortunately, my experiences with food in Spain have been bad. Every time, I went I'd go completely hungry because I couldn't find a good place to eat. Or a place where they'd serve me. I don't know why I've been so unlucky.
Madrid is hard if you don't know where you're going. Galicia is much easier; it's hard to eat badly here.
