We visited a busy little tapas bar this afternoon after a trip to the flea market. The house specialty was a stew of spicy snails that was bubbling in a large cauldron. They also had variety of fried goodies; chunks of cod, salty bits of fatty pork, battered shrimp and pig's ears.
We asked about this item in the photograph and when we were told what it was we stared blankly at the waiter. He then said, "Intestinos" while he pointed to his abdomen. "Intestinos de baaa" he repeated as he moved his hands together indicating something small. Intestinos de baaa? "Si" he said, "intestinos of the little sheep." Oh. We did not eat them.

- We are spending the summer in Spain and hoping that this simple blog will keep our friends and family informed about our activities. Of course, if you want to follow this in chronological order, you have to start at the bottom of the blog. Also, by clicking on any of the blog photos you should be taken to a Flickr page with additional images of our trip.
I can't believe you didn't eat the little tubes!
ReplyDeleteYou guys, guys being the operative word here, are such reckless eaters.
Such clean chewy film, bathed in the most succulent juices.
You must return and eat them immediately.
I want proof, or pudding.
