We have had some rainy days lately in Barcelona…
That’s why we thought we needed to remember our walk through la Barceloneta in summer.
The sand, the beach, the warm weather… and the “tapas”!
In this episode, we enter the kitchen and learn how to prepare… Wait for it…
Anchovie’s fried backbone!
It may seem food for cats…
But taste it, and discover how delicious it can be!

La castanyada

31st october means candles, sweets, ghosts, zombies and witches all over the world… Yeah, it’s Halloween time!
But we have to say that in Barcelona, we are more into “la castanyada”. What? You don’t know about it?
OK. Just take a look at the video. We eat “castanyes” and “panellets”. They are delicicous, but they aren’t really diet food…
But hey, it’s just for one day!
Remember that only these days you will see our “castanyers i castanyeres” all around the city, so it’s in october or never!

We almost forgot! Here we had “castanyes”, and here, “panellets”. Enjoy!

Pa amb tomàquet

“Pa amb tomàquet” or bread with tomatoe, is a tipical catalan dish. Fresh, natural, and no cook needed.

Ingredients:
- Bread
- Tomato
- Oil
- Salt

How to:
Take the bread, cut the tomato in two halfs and crush it against the bread so that it permeates sliding.
Finally use oil and salt.

So easy and tasty…

If you ask for a sandwich of ham or “butifarra” in Barcelona I’m sure it has this kind of sauce on it.

Where to eat a good sandwich with “pa amb tomàquet”?
Maybe at La Flauta, Quebo!, or Bar Fidel. But any bar could be nice.
