Well, for once Brendan's bravery and curiosity about trying new foods did not turn out in his favor. At a small bar/restaurant in Seville, we got to choose from about 5 dishes on the Menu of the day. Some we knew, like veal and paella, but others were a mystery. What is a "San Jacoba?" And the waiter didn't speak English, so we couldn't really ask. Brendan decided to try one of the mystery items, a Flamenquito. Much to his surprise, it turned out to be just a breaded and fried hot dog. Go figure. So, not such a great choice for Brendan, but it sure was funny.

Apparently, "Flamenquito" is Spanish for "Fried Hot Dog"
