langostinos!!!!!Where are you going this trip Jo?

Hi Mongo --

Although I live here in Madrid, I thought I´d let you share my enjoyment of morcilla de arroz (or de Burgos).

Absolutely ñam ñam!!

Just have it in the name of Chica!

Puna I'm off to Madrid again :-)

This could be a good escuse for a tapas crawl - we can test out all the tapas to get Mongo trained up by proxy ... ? We don't want him to struggle when it's his turn do we?

Chica, Pim, Ignacio .. anyone?

Jo

Very unfortunately for me in this matter, I will spend most of September abroad. When are u coming?

Please have gambas al ajillo for me. And a cafe leche-leche.

Doesn't anyone want tortilla? It's OK, I will have one anyway!

I LOVE tortilla, but can make my own. Although It doesn't taste as good as it does in Spain

Ignacio - I'll be there middle of next week.

Jo

Oooooh. I'll be in Dominican Republic, but I'll be in town for a couple of days on 11th I hope you are still here.

As I don't want to monopolize this thread, I am sending you a PM.

If I was to move abroad right now I think I'd mostly miss:....white asparagus, both natural (my mum's are THE best) and bottled or canned, 'lomo embuchado', etc, etc, etc...and the possibility of having a wonderful 'pulga de tortilla' (pulga(flea)=very small 'bocadillo'(sandwich)) anytime I want most anywhere I am, without the trouble of having to run home to make a 'tortilla de patatas' myself....
And once in a while I'm positive I'd have to prepare me a fix of 'papas bravas', 'bocadillo de calamares', 'tortilla campera', 'canapés de cangrejo', 'revueltos (de morcilla, gambas, trigueros, chorizo, jamón, gulas....)', 'paella de verduras', 'croquetas', homemade mayonnaise,....and huge sandwiches of jamón with 'pan tumaca' (I blame my love of good ham for not being able to become a veggie) :o

The first thing that came from my sis' lips when she gave birth to her baby in London was "Mum make me some lentejaaaaaaas!!!' (lentils)

Hey Jo, get in touch next week girl!
