whoever thought this could happen? but it's true - the wealth of processed meats in Spain has caused Geoff to review his philosophy of food...
even tonight he shook his head and ordered a prawn thing, with bacalao, rolled in zucchini, in preference to the house's special jamon...
seriously, the ham is amazing, but a few nights ago even G got more than he'd bargained for, and has somewhat backed off since. the locals see no harm at all in downing a whole plate of cured meat, perhaps some bread go with it, but then again perhaps not...
to finish, another illustration of our trip... this time the feria in Cordoba - note the dresses and the horses...
Geoff compra carne de caballo fresco en lugar de jamón
ReplyDeleteJOhn, your spanish is so bad it's almost incomprehensible ;) - how about ingles? also, a few remarks in english are always welcome as we struggle thru our rich and varied days which are full to overflowing with espagnol...
ReplyDeleteAnd those turquoise shoes!
ReplyDeleteestoy herido!
ReplyDeleteIn fact if it wasn't for the turquoise heels and the frills this might almost be in Pennsylvania....ola. Was worried about the geography there for a minute.
ReplyDeleteGeoff eschewing meat is indeed staggering. Hope he keeps his strength up by increasing the beer/red wine intake.
Have left H at home in bed - for the second day in a row. He is blaming the flu jab. Whatever it is it's not at all nice and needs to leave his body soon so we can enjoy our weekend away at Queen's birthday. Have already pulled out of the poncy Massey dinner tonight.
Your blog is more fun with pictures - and JT's espagnol!!
