Didn't know you were that way inclined.
Estrella is a perfectly decent beer imo. Especially in this weather.Quote:

I discovered this in Sevilla, it is now my favourite Tapas dish:

Although I'm not convinced it will export well to the UK. :rubchin:
There you are, you see. You've actually gone native.Quote:

Yes, I was told that they used a specific type of Spanish potatoe that you rarely see outside Spain. They also boil them in a stock of some kind with the skins on before removing them. I expect none of those things would happen in most Tapas bars in the UK.Quote:

To be fair, Germans aren't notable for their productivity on Friday afternoons, eitherQuote:

Yeah, it's basically the same as my mother-in-law's old Bavarian recipe which she prepares for us each Silvester. It's eaten with loads of enormous Bockwurst though, rather than oily fish.Quote:
