The morcilla is particularly good.

Didn't know you were that way inclined.

Estrella is a perfectly decent beer imo. Especially in this weather.

I had Blutwurst too!

I win though, because my beer is German.

Yes, but my food was Spanish. ;-)

I've gone mad for blood sausage in recent years. I've always liked it, but these days I can't get enough of it. Maybe I lack iron or something?

Food, schmood ;-)

Yes, one's body usually knows.

He started it!

Anyway, there's nothing posh about German.

Fair to say my chances of getting any work done this afternoons on are receding :-(

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.

Absolutely. Had it myself. Like all really good Spanish food, it's just nice ingredients and not much fannying about.

It would be rubbish here. You need sunshine for it to work.

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.

I had it rustic stylee in an old world Tapas bar where it had large chunks of potatoe and then pureed in a modern Tapas bar, both outstanding.

[Burney]

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

I think the potato would be something akin to la ratte, which you can get over here.

In fairness, neither am I. Didn't even know it was Friday :homer:

Surely you forget the almejas con jerez, not to mention the polpo alla griglia?

[World's End Stella]

Surely you forget the almejas con jerez, not to mention the polpo alla griglia?

I forget neither. It's nothing more than potatoe salad with vinegar and tuna (or sardines in the modern place) and yet somehow I just couldn't stop eating it, it was so good. Even better than jamon iberico which I actually find you can get tired of pretty quickly.

It's genius is its simplicity. My kind of food.

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.

Polpo alla griglia ain't Spanish. I suspect it ain't even what you think it is.

You mean it's not Spam and chips? :yikes:
