Yes, I enjoyed the Roast suckling lamb at Mesón del Duque in Segovia but I really prefer the 'char-grilled' rib lamb chops that they (Parrita's?) serve in San Fernando.

Another treat: there was a Wedding Party at Mesón del Duque and they were doing a Queimada Gallega with the Incantation to seal their Wedding Vows. It was very impressive! I wasn't aware that the Gallegos did that. Maybe I'll have someone do an Anglicized version of a Queimada at my Wake (i.e., Funeral Viewing). I have a bottle of Orujo (de Liebana, the best kind) in my Liquor Cabinet.
BTW
If you ever get to Portugal, go to the Mealhada region: you'll find really great leitao (pronounced lay-tone, which is Portuguese for Cochinillo) at truck stops along the old Lisbon-Porto highway.
