Foodie Special Edition

This post is for Zoe, Michael, Michael, Sandy, Pete, Peter, Celia and all the rest of us who love our food...

First Spanish beer...not bad

Street food market in Granada, fressshhh.....

Lovely stuffed courgettes, the filling was a mild seafood creation, very nice.

This is pretty common in southern Spain, aubergines with honey, again, a winner.

Not what it seems, but chocolate olives.. different, and at least, not salty

This was the main course of a family run village restaurant in Portugal. It's mutton, with a soup and bread broth, with potatoes. Very tasty, and tender mutton.

 Creme caramel, baked in a dish, and served in....

Slices. Lovely, not too sweet. Never seen creme caramel served like this before, but it's good

Here is the village restaurant. All linen, no paper napkins or tablecloths, the meal of two courses for two, a couple of drinks, about 20 euro. The fruit salad was freshly home made, yum. Like the boar's head on the wall?

Very good appetiser in Porto, octopus grilled, with onion and parsley. We both loved it.

 Local traditional meal, grilled sea bass, veges and spuds. Simple, but tasty and nutritious

 To finish off.....

The unique green wine. Think it's a bit of a gimmick, but had to try it

Ah, Spain, meat lovers paradise.

Think this was a halal shop, can't remember. Porkies from Heaven

We've had some great food experiences. Of course, some ordinary ones also, but it's good fun to try the local offerings.
