Glorious Spanish Feasts In Sevilla & Granada

What the??? These are hanging ham legs from a café that sells ham in Granada. As promised, here are the drool-worthy pictures of food from Spain!!   There are so many photos. My friend, D, and I really made our rounds. So I won’t comment on them all. You can flip through slowly and enjoy the visual temptations.     But I will comment on the best ones, like the incroyable! That's hanging ham legs (iberico?) from a café that sells ham in Granada.   They LITERALLY filled the whole ceiling. I was partly worried my open mouth will be filled with some fat dripping off the ham hocks. Luckily, each had a small cone that caught any drippings.   And this was interesting too... LOL

So if you haven’t noticed already, ham is a big deal in Spain! Especially good quality ham.

Serrano…yummm!

Such a big deal they have the entire leg and carve strange from it. Apparently, you can tell the different hams based on the color and type of hoof.

But we weren’t satisfied. So on our quest, we chanced on his little café that sold cheap cheap (because this stuff is expensive!) but FABULOUS quality ham. Great find. As you can tell from the door itself.

THEN...  A half an hour later, I’m one happy girl!

We also went to a bar that served tapas. All over Spain, the custom is that you buy a drink and get a tapa for free. That is how tapas started and they have always worked like this.

But this place was not so good. We had to pay for some tapas. And the ones they gave us were bad, so we left. However, they had cute decorations. Like this handles for the beer on tap. They made you have this good feeling inside due to their simplistic uniqueness.

    FOOD TIME Now as promised.I wanted to share with you the most delicious Spanish food! Spanish style – means it’s made from onions and potatoes with eggs. Its not like the Mexican made from flour or corn used like bread.  

But I have to admit that the bread sucked here. It's just a shame... Otherwise, I might dare say the food was better than my food in France!

Until next time... XO Enjoy the pictures!

YUM, YUM! One of my favorite tapas: Tortilla! Bruschetta-like. Bits of salmon on toasted bread with cheese, thinly sliced avocado and cavier. SOOOO good!! Spinach with Chickpeas – this was amazing. With the cumin, exquisite blends of flavors.
