Post by Wynette: The Spanish call lunch “la comida” which translates to “the meal”. We had lunch today at the only restaurant open in the little town where we are spending the night. (We didn’t make it there till 3:00. They closed at 4:00.) We were lucky how good it was. Above was their menu del día. Each person gets one from each category (a first course and second course), plus dessert, bread, and water or wine.
It all sounds delicious. Wish I knew what it all was, as I don’t speak much Spanish, not even restaurant Spanish. What did you have?
Hi Henry, we had, first course, garbanzo bean stew and the menestra (cooked vegetables, huge portion). Second course was escalopines with cheese sauce (very thin meat, coated, quickly cooked in pan) and bocatas, fried anchovies. (Not like the salty things in the states but the original little fish. I don’t generally like them but they were very good breaded and fried. Wynette
