I like food. I'm a fan. Looking at it, eating it. It's a good thing to have around. I'm not necessarily a foodie; I'm not a great cook (yet) and I can name less than 10 types of cheese. Despite my unsophisticated palate I have decided to treat you all to a post about some of the new Spanishy food in my life. Everything can be found in your nearest budget supermercado. (I recommend Día)
GAZPACHO
Can't get enough of this. It's a lovely cold summertime soup primarily based on tomatoes. Has a bit of an olivey taste off it too. Full of antioxidants apparently. And it's low in fat AND because it's supposed to be served cold you can just drink it straight from the carton! Which saves on washing up! Genius!
Toast: Pan Tostado
Those little pre toasted bread things as opposed to actual toast. A lot of people hate these. I love them. It's the texture. They go well with peach jam. Or cream cheese. Or fruit. Or gazpacho. Just eat them they're a thing.
Olives: Aceitunas
It's Spain. Keep up. I'm slowly turning into an olive. If you run out of water drink olive oil. Do whatever feels right.
Tomatoes: Tomates
They're everywhere. You don't remember buying them but you have 3. You think they reproduce every time you close the fridge. Why are there so many. Do you even like tomatoes. It doesn't matter because you're eating one right now.
Oranges: Naranjas
Kind of the same deal as with the tomatoes. Maybe you wouldn't be eating one if you weren't in Spain. But it's always good to have one in, just in case...
Nutella: ... Nutella
ok not spanish but it's so hot here it's always melty I'm in love.
Also cheese but that's a given. Anyway. Remind me I need to get eggs.
Here do you get speculoos there? It's great, goes amazing with those toast things. Looks like peanut butter but is sweet. I recommend. Also if you have peanut butter that's less than €4 there let me know I'd be willing to trade.
ReplyDeleteall of the peanut butter I've seen has been under €4, but it's that over sweetened rubbish and I know for you it'll be organic or nothing ;) I'll keep an eye out.
