The Feast of the Midday meal

As you might know, the main meal in Spain is lunch which begins around 2 pm. Luckily, we got to come home today after a tour of other parishes to eat with our host family.

We got picked up by another Antonio (he jokingly called himself the taxi driver) and went back to meet Rosario and her baby daughter, Maria. We had nothing short of a small feast. We poured tall cool glasses of Tinto de Verano, and started off with salad, bread, cheeses and my love, gazpacho. After that we had some paella, Spanish tortilla, veggie quiche and empanada de Galicia. Spanish tortilla is usually eggs and potato and baked like a quiche. He empanada was a pastry filled win tomato sauce, tuna and other spices. Woo! Then Estelle fried up some chicken patties that were flavored with herbs, some sausages, and her favorite, morcillo -- blood sausage. We also tried little round pasties filled with something similar to coleslaw. Somehow we managed to finish the meal with a serving of watermelon and dewmelon. We were stuffed and enjoyed a nice siesta after that escapade! I know with all the waking we do we must burn it off.

Are you hungry now?
