    We also love the Colacao equivalent here in Argentina , there are many brands but the best ones are Nesquick, Toddy and Chocolino.
    The chocolate powder is called "Chocolatada" in Argentina.

    And depending on the region in Spain you have very good food from there. For exemple, in Valencia is not so common the Tapas, I mean, yes, we have but not like Madrid, Extremadura.... is not so good as them. But in the other hand we have rice everywhere.. dozens kinds of rice and we eat them some days a week.

    Hey Elyce! Now that a new year is about to start you'd go to a sidrería in Astigarraga (near San Sebastián). Cider season is between mid January and April and that is a whole new experience, mainly the ones where there are no chairs to sit down so you'll master the art of eating standing.

      Elyce Behrsin it’s a fixed menu of cod omelette, cod with peppers, big steak and cheese, walnuts and quince. You can drink as much cider as you like, but there is a way to it. The cider is in big barrels with a tap and you put your glass far away so the cider “breaks” into the glass to make it slightly bubbly. You only pour two fingers and some people only drink a sip each time. In the video the guys throwing it away it’s not because they don’t like it, it’s because they had a sip a threw the rest. In the old days you used to stand up all the time as you do several trips to the barrels but now more and more have chairs or benches to sit down. ruclips.net/video/vBictenyHHA/видео.html

    • @yanpakal
      @yanpakal 5 лет назад +2

      @@ForestRain44 I think that's not acurate, food in the south is more similar to food in other areas of spain than in Morocco. At least the Moroccan plates I know are made in a "tajin" with a lot of veggies, or based in rice or something similar and with a lot of spices.
      Tradicionaly, the differences between south and north IMO are based on avaiabily of ingredients. Like in the north there's no olive trees, so pig's fat or butter were used instead of olive oil. Another example is wheat and corn, wheat is grown in the mid/south peninsula, and corn it's more common in the north. But... in the global world we live now you can made Asturian fabada in Malaga or drink Andalusian Gazpacho in Catalonia. And the meals young people cook can have more influence from masterchef than from tradicion xD
      Other factors are warm/cold and proximity to the sea. In the north and cold places stews are more common, and in the hot south less warm or even cold dishes are more common.

    lets be seriouse.. spanish food isn't that great, it's when someone makes it very well or that special place where your going to eat it that makes it out of this world. Lots of beautiful people around you, very nice location, something you have never tried before, a few longostinos, or cigala at Cortez ingles specialty store. I had morcilla made with honey and raisins in Valladolid. It was something special. But most places will be disappointing just like anywhere in the world. I am sure eating in Australia is a dream, if your in the right place eating the right thing. Spanish Tortilla is awsome, if they make it juicy with lots of onions but i am not into that anymore. I am trying to stay away from potatoes, unless they are cold because that is resistant starch. So a russian salad would be great. Do you like eating in Serrano ? or barrio Salamanca ? I am sick of drinking beer, i like Mau, it's really good, but why do i have to drink anything alcoholic, now that i am older, younger i wanted to drink and be drunk, no problem. now it's a need for something really good, great cognac, there is one that is so rich in caramel flavor. Spain without a car sucks you have to run from metro to metro and walk 5 hours, which is so healthy. How i long for being in mallorca, or Malaga. Europe use to be so cheap when the dollar was strong. Now it's so expensive. Best thing in Spain, the weather and friends. Los angeles has nice weather, but friends are rare.

      Maybe you are picky and not eager to new flavours, maybe not, I don't know but you have a point when saying that recipes have to be made in a proper way to be spot on, and that doesn't happen everywhere, you have a point when saying that the best thing about food is how when, where and who you share it with.
      But maybe your experience was not for the culinary point of view how it should be, and that makes you look unfair making such generalization, you might need to try it with locals, maybe with some more money that you might think, not going to the cheapest place or the trendy one that is expensive but dull at the tourist traps that exist everywhere and give a bad name to a hole food culture, here and in China, in 4 worlds knowing were to go, because it is true that not any highway restaurant is great.
      IMHO there are some cuisines that are really standing out at the world, those are: French, Spanish, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Italian, Peruvian.

      When you eat at bars and restaurants in spain its easy to order a lot of fried food, but I think it's not too common in house cooked meals. Like yesterday, I ate at a restaurant with friends and from the 5 things we order to share 1 was deep fried and 2 were made with oil in a frying pan (but not too greasy). In my home I don't remember the last time I fried something. If I use a frying pan I usually put just a bit of olive oil, cooking meat or fish more like grilled than fried.
