Here are a few of the meals I’ve enjoyed in Spain over the years.
A very generous portion of very tasty mussels.Deep fried chicken breast with some mild chillies. Doesn’t the plate seem strangely bare?Risotto, made with anything the cook could find. Heavy and not particularly tasty.It is not difficult to find an inexpensive meal in Spain. Here you can see a three course meal, with bread, wine or water, for 8 euros.The Spanish are big on seafood. Ideally cooked fresh rather than heated up a hundred times…Marks out of ten for presentation? Well, it was filling…Roast beef and chips, what more could an Englishman ask for? Well, to have less gristly piece of meat… The chilli and pepper sauce was good though.Looking more like pork scratchings than something edible… The chips weren’t bad.Apologies for the yellow tinge. Here is a mountain of paella – for one person!Slightly more modest. Sausage and beans.
Pork chop in a rich, though not very nice, sauce.Great colours! Deep fried banana, or perhaps plantain, with a mound of white rice, tomato sauce and all topped by a fried egg.From a Spanish supermarket, here you can see cured hams.
