Four-Course Meal



At a random restaurant in Madrid, we stopped and got their menu del dia, which looked okay from the window. My only complaint was my salad, which came covered in tuna, which I absolutely despise. Even the mere hint of tuna-flavoring can make me gag, which I did several times while trying to pick through the salad to eat the few untainted bits. The real kicker came when I bit into a tomato (which I don't particularly like but they are better than tuna), only to discover that the tomato was covered in tuna water. I seriously almost threw up on the table, but I managed to overcome my disgust.

Anyway... enough about that, you don't want to know about what I ate, you want to know what Brendan ate. The top picture was the first course, crusty bread and a glass of wine. Not particularly interesting, but I thought it was a cool picture. Then the second course was some sort of soup, which was much better than my salad. I am not sure what was in it, I think some ham and peas, and maybe some sort of seafood? Then the main course, which I didn't get a picture of but it was delicious, grilled sea bass. Then the third picture is dessert, which was supposed to be some sort of lemon tart (if I understood correctly what the waiter was saying, which is questionable), but did not taste in the least bit lemony but was delicious nonetheless.

And I think that does it for the Spain pictures, although if I unearth some more from Brendan's camera I'll be sure to post them at a later date. Adios!
