Dish for dish, Spanish cuisine is French food without the silliness, and with olive oil instead of butter. Miguel, if you only know fried food in Spain, you may have had food in Spain, but it wasn't Spanish food. Cocido madrileño, marmitako, esquiexada, ajoblanco, merluza a la vasca, escudella, pollo al ajillo, revuelto de ajetes with gambas, potaje de vigilia, huevos a la flamenca!, almejas a la marinera, escalibada, sopa de picadillo, carne a la riojana, bacalao con tomate, habas a la catalana, mojo picón, bacalao al pil-pil, cordero a la navarra, empanada gallega, judías con jamón, albóndigas, dorada a la sal, espinacas guisadas, fabada, trucha a la navarra, canelones....... Each of these famous Spanish dishes is a masterpiece in the hands of the average housewife, none requires exotic ingredients of any kind and none is fried. And that's without getting into drinks and desserts or even rice dishes! (I'm getting hungry [8D]) Estela 'Zata'
