Have you ever noticed how affluent Spaniards eat ? The more educated ones tend to pack a serving at the BACK OF A FORK and pat this down with a knife to firmly plant it in place. While in rural Italy, the old timers peel apples mafia style and eat this while holding a knife – sometimes a slice of cheese in included. Amusing to watch

Cool gazpacho for the heat record breaking dog days of summer. Sangria would hit the spot too.

I had a friend whose familyâ€™s big thing for Christmas was gazpacho. They held on to that usage when they moved to New Jersey and thatâ€™s about the time I heard of it first. Being deep into the seasonal nature of food, wow I said to myself, gazpacho in winter, thatâ€™s worse than plum pudding in August.

i would have slept all the way to dinner (but not through) after a meal like this.

I wonder if the bacalao was soaked, but not cooked? It doesn’t look flaky in the photo.
What an experience!! Spain seems to be pushing the boundaries in discovering new tastes.

Were the potatoes supposed to be patatas bravas? They’re usually double cooked–boiled then fried. Yours just look boiled. Definitely not as tasty! (Everything fried is good, is my mantra!)

Luv gazpacho. The picture showed a smoother consistency with some chunky bits in the middle?
