Menu del Dia
 
:omg_smile: Once again I have returned from a menu del dia and feel again like I have eaten a house. When you look back at what you have eaten there does not appear to be that much in actual quantity eaten, So why do we feel like we have eaten a Christmas dinner can anyone explain........ PS selection box anyone :p

I didnt have rabbit ahhhhhh one of my favs though today We had Salad, Eggs Stuffed with tuna/black olives/red peppers then Sole in an cream and Almond sauce followed by Catalan Cream. 1 litre Bottle Wine/ 1 litre Bottle Water then coffee and the total cost of 20 euros for two. So not like home in the UK where you would have four nan's, chicken this, lamb that, With rice then a greasy slipper on the way back home....... Sorry I mean Kebab :rofl: But here in Spain feel twice as full it must be the lunchtime eating........... The usual Lunch fare in the City was 4 bottles of pinko and no solids :lol:

One of my favorite things about Spain... MDD. Though this last trip at 12019 euros (in San Sebasti which is much more expensive I know) it was a bit hard on my (Yank) wallet, what with the 1.65 exchange rate.
Yo DO get fed well, normally from 'home made' food (which I prefer to high priced mass production generic crap food served by many menu resurants), you get the whole bottle of wine, a bottle of gaseosa, a loaf of bread and you walk out full. "Hole in the wall" cafe's are usually the best IMO.

What's not to like.
