We have been eating well these last couple of weeks. We started off in Paris, where we met up with some friends before heading off to Spain.
A couple of the meals stand out. It doesn’t get much better than falling-off-the-bone braised lamb with sauerkraut.
Then there was this amazing meal. Three kinds of grilled fish, a shrimp, and mussels – served over sliced potatoes with a cream sauce. This one was memorable for sure.
In Spain, and particularly when near the Mediterranean, seafood is ubiquitous, with of course Iberian ham and chorizo just for good measure.
For our first meal here we went to the Taverna just next door. We shared patatas bravas and grilled veggies. I had flaming chorizo.
The next day I had grilled sardines and we shared a seafood paella.
And of course another paella on another day – both were perfect.
Yesterday, I had one of my favorites in this part of the world, grilled octopus, with patas bravas, at the taverna next door.
Add in plenty of green olives, a sip of cava, along with some spectacular views and you have the perfect place for a couple of foodies like us.
I hope your travels and meals are delicious, we are constantly reminded that the best seasoning is the people you are eating with, so gather a friend or two and eat, it just doesn’t get better than that.
