There´s a Galician Market set up right now in Madrid . Kiosks in Plaza de Dalí ( Metro Goya ) .. wonderful sausages , cheeses , bread etc... But also they have this Empanada Gallega ... filled with semi hard chocolate !! I had it once before in Alcala de Henares . I bought one whole Pastel de chocolate ..about 12 inches across . totally sinful !!

It´s a pie .. using pastry .. but they fill it with chocolate .. I love it . It´s natural chocalate but , as far as i´m aware , no added sugar , but it´s sweet . . IT´S AMAZING !

Hi Steve, I have the same question as Esperanza (03/28 at 8:31 AM). I often go to a Spanish restaurant on Bleecher St owned by Galicians. I would like to bring them a small Galician gift (non-food). Thanks

I stayed for a couple of weeks in Bleecker Street ... Downtown Manhattan ... I´m not sure if it´s the same street . I absolutely loved that street .We had a small apartment . The market in Plaza de Dalí is all food but I´ll look into places here in Madrid that sell Galician products other than food . Esperanza - I get the impression that they´ll be finished by this weekend . Plaza de Dalí is often used as a commercial and cultural showroom .

Check out the delicious "Chocolate Pie" steve robinson bought me yesterday from the Galician Market! Nearly half was eaten for merienda and it was good, the chocolate was semi-sweet and very nearly hard. Thanks, Steve!! Saludos, MadridMan

Right here in my neighborhood there's a store which specializes - and only sells - "Productos Gallegos".
