- I had my list and I had an empty stomach. How difficult could finding five Spanish foods be in Madrid? Actually much harder than I realised.

Spaniard here and I've never heard xuxio before, not even one of the most typical Catalan food, no surprise it would be hard to find 😅
*Man I love these videos. They/you are funny, relaxing, and informative. Also very relevant to my life. I've been to many places that you have been to and can relate to these travel vlogs. Keeping them going and saludos from south of Alicante!*
Not sure how your channel got to my feed, but I'm glad it did! Subscribed and will be checking your content out.
All the best 😃👍
Love your videos and your channel Scott.You have inspired me to get out there and start travelling again.Thank you appreciate your hatd work.Cheers Rich from Chester.
Welcome to my city! The last food you couldn't find, perhaps it's a Suso? Mercadona supermarkets tend to carry them, in case you come back someday and wish to complete the challenge. Hope you enjoyed your stay here!
I didn't get the "Paris in the middle of Madrid" bit first, but Scott was of course talking abot parrots. I need an hearing aid. Great video as usual.
How appropriate that this video was uploaded the day I had just returned from Madrid! Cafeterías seems to be the key spot to find churros I have noticed. Since this was a food challenge, I knew certain options would be on there. Although I expected to see tortillas and jamón, patatas bravas. Hope you enjoyed your time in Spain. Certainly a gastronomically rich country. I love how the average city in Spain will have restaurants specializing in food from other regions such as Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque region.
Great video Scott!
Patatas bravas. (Sauteed potatoes in a light paprika sauce). Would be my choice, with a beer or glass of wine
Scott's such a nice guy. Love watching his videos, always informative and interesting
WOW. Monk Parakeets also live here in New York City. These birds became feral and are able to survive the cold winters by building nests next to electrical transformers and other places that generate warmth. These birds are loud but colorful.
Great effort Scott, keep up the videos!! Your doing a great job!
Seeing the Cascade Brewery cap always brings a smile to the face!
i found this channel last week and i absolutely love it great content
I've saw those type of parakeets here in Glasgow, Beautiful birds and very noisy 😂
All that food looked delicious Scott, I love Spain, mainly for the people and the food.
Fab video as always.
Great video Scott, four out of five is pretty impressive. We have Ring necked parakeets in Preston.
I was in Madrid in March and had calamari at the exact same spot!! Calamari and patatas bravas. The line was so long they weren’t letting anyone in anymore and were just serving the line outside. Now knowing I ate from the same spot as you and Steve, I feel special lol
Never mind, i thought you were gonna end up at La Campana. Close enough :)
As ever Scott top quality content, Madrid a very cosmopolitan city, so not surprised that food was hard to find.
@1:15 that looks like the same room layout I had, but it was in Basel, Switzerland. My hotel was the Ibis Budget at Muenchensteinerstrasse Bruecke, about 1 km east of the SBB rail station. It shares one side of the building along with the Novotel, and is right next to the university's college of economics campus. My room had 3 prong earthed "type J" outlets that can also accept the two prong non-earthed"Type C" plugs.
I love these quirky challenges, glad to see there didn't appear to be any uphill walking!
Similar to the suso / xuixo, yet much easier to find in any pastries shop in Madrid and the whole of Spain, is the 'pepito de crema'. Give it a try next time!
You don't need to justify drinking beer at 1pm. At that time of day, the sun is over the yard-arm, so drinking is allowed. 😊🍺
As you said 4 out of 5 not bad. At least you got your daily steps in! You can always be relied on to produce a different video, so thank you.
There's a great video of David Bowie and Peter Frampton walking to that square in search of a beer back in the 80s. It hasn't changed much
Well done Scott..enjoyed watching your challenge.goodness knows how you manage to eat all that...😍😎
When in Madrid there is only one option....Menu del Dia!
Not on a Sunday!
@@isobelmatheson8036 .... certainly not in the centre....! But still restaurants who usually have MdelD would have a decent plato combinado on Sunday....as long as it's not too fancy!
We stopped eating out in the centre of Madrid many years ago!
Great wander! I must admit I've never heard of item no.5 before? Maybe Barcelona would have been easier for it! Although when you were seeking it out, I noticed some delicious looking roscas de yema in a bakery window - trust me - add those to your list for next time. I often find Madrid quite difficult to get what I'm after, I swear in Salamanca, you could have completed your challenge within one street. You've certainly put me in the mood for some Spanish food though, maybe tomorrow ;)
Yeah, Spanish food. Now there's an idea. 😉
Your first mistake was to eat paella in Madrid, your second mistake was to order it from a restaurant that has pictures of it 😅. 💯 frozen.
That's some appetite! The pastie looked stodgy enough to last all day!
There is a very large flock of Parakeets in Surrey which have been there for over 40 years, originally escapees.
When you are visiting a different country you also like to eat a lot of the food from that country and the food from Spain looks very good, this was a great look at Madrid and the food as well of course thank you and have a wonderful week.🇬🇧👋👋🇪🇦
Because there's nothing worse than going to another country and just eating what you would at home, waste of airfare
Go to the Prado, it will blow your socks off and try cheurros , absolutely beautiful, ah you found them, , had them on a Sunday in Madrid , it was a locals restaurant, seems a common thing for breakfast at weekend :)
Scott, this video would have been a great deal more fun for your viewers (or at the very least, for this viewer) if you had listed the 5 items you were looking for at the beginning of the episode. 🙂
Watching this, made me miss my time in Madrid. 8 years there.
Are you sure it wasn't chicken and asparagus rather than chicken and celery?
All this delicious food is making me hungry😂
Estoy hambre y casado.
You are hungry and married?
Theres a lot of those parakeets in and around London too. Mostly they've come from a small population of escaped pets that have gone on to thrive in the wild.
The ones on London are a different species, very similar looking though the Ring Neckeds in London. Also it's not know where the population is from but the main suspect is an old film set from back in the day.
Amazing they have prospered with he UK weather .
There is a decent population of ring necks around the Blackpool / Lytham area so they aren't afraid of the temperatures up North.
@@birdsbodger I'm afraid that's a bit of a myth. As is the Jimi Hendrix story. We've got quite a few in south Manchester.
@@sfactory8253 They're also found in the Himalayan foothills so if they can survive there then they shouldn't have problems here. We have them here in south Manchester.
You should have asked for callos Madrileño! Tripe in a spicy sauce. A delicacy I love in the Spanish capital city!
200kg parrots nest ? What they got up there? A helicopter?!
i watch your videos a bit planes, good to see you in madrid. i am near marbella and tend to go 2 to 3 times a year for short breaks. great city.
For the next time, in the rest of spain ask for a "chucho de crema". "Xuxu" is in catalan spoken in Barcelona and Girona
Well that was a very enjoyable video how many steps you did in looking for your 5 items 😀 xx
Sorry to rub it in but we have found your illusive pastry recently in Soria,(North of Madrid) and also in Grand Canaria. perhaps you were should have looked for chucho de crema!
I love the room in Madrid. Small but enough. 😻
Maybe you could have gone for jamón ibérico as a backup option? You should be able to find that in most supermarkets.
great video again, but can i ask you how you use your phone in europe, im going to various parts in december coming from falkirk, never been to mainland europe before (always been usa ive went to) and cant find very much info into using phone in mainland europe. cheers for an help. always love watching your videos as well as steve's, I really shouldn't though as my list of places to visit is getting longer and longer every week lol.
If you have an O2 monthly contract, then European roaming is still included for most EU countries. On some Three monthly contracts there are a few days of European roaming included or you can buy a package for EU roaming that includes many other non-EU countries too
@@cmartin_ok it is vodafone I'm with. been racking my brain trying to find info on best course of action as im gonna be away for nearly 3 weeks moving from belgium to holland then onto germany.
You could get a Giffgaff SIM for temporary usage.
Ive had churros in Madrid, but I think its not really considered a streetfood. How I got it was at 8 am in a local cafe as a breakfast item with my coffee. And that Ibis budget is great. Love that area, Vallecas its called I believe. A real working class area with hardly any tourists.
I had 12 hour coach in Croatia don't know how I survived. Remembered you trip to Bulgaria ( 50hours) . ❤
Thanks. Love empanadas. They sell them here in our local market, in Croydon. Yum
-
Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.
Churros are sold year round in bars but in winter various food trucks appear in the residential neighbourhoods selling them as they are typical to eat with hot chocolate when it’s cold.
You can get Churros in Aldi!
08:25 Yikes, that is one creepy baby! No need for coffee after seeing that, Scott. 🤣
You should come here to Galicia to try Pulpo and proper Empanada
Schuu keep that part of spain as it is not overcrowed with tourist 😂 beautiful and great food
@@dazlebluefrogify I Agree I love living here IMO the best part of Spain.
All the wonderful fresh and delicious local food that is readily available in Madrid and you select the cheapest, unhealthiest ultra touristy examples. You’ve done this great city a disservice.
I came as a tourist, hence the tourist food. If you wanted to taste the best Madrid had to offer, I think more than 24 hours would be needed to give it the justice it deserves.
What were the five types of Spanish food you were looking for as mentioned at the start? I guess fish food is a type. Pastries maybe.
Just not sure.
From my visit to the fabulous Madrid, churros seemed easy to find (although not sure what type they come under)..
I come from Paisley too--- walking at 25°? No way!
The food looked delicious, especially the paella. I’d never heard of #5 so googled it. A churro-croissant hybrid filled with Catalan creama. Yep. I’d have kept searching for it too.
Please take note of off-days of a country. Most restaurants, landmarks, museums etc. are closed on a Mondsy to give rest to staffs.
"Street food" is not really a thing in Madrid nor in most of Spain. Bar/cafetería food is.
Thank you! Always fun
Got to laugh, Scott: could have found all Five in no time, here in Melbourne, DownUnder! 🙃👨🍳😋
Superb video eating and drinking in Spain, result mucker
Had some amazing Churros in Mercado de San Miguel last year.
Parakeets in london and even burnley..ive seen them in burnley and they are oted by a local newspaper.. great video as is normal with your good self
Good video interesting especially looking for food, Steve always thoughtful Food,😊
You should come again to Valencia to try a traditional paella Scott!
Continental Europe - where opening hours are short and can be random. We forget how lucky we are in the UK
Love the Cascade Brewery cap....
Hobart my Hometown
You missed so many delicious foods Madrid has to offer! Tortilla de patatas, bull tail stew, huevos rotos, salt cod fritters, etc.
Even that churro you could've had with delicious molten chocolate to dip it in!
Time for a part two, I reckon!
Couldn't agree more!
For a guy who travels this much, you'd think he would look for a bit of a more authentic experience, especially in Spain. Its always a bit dissappointing when he goes to clear subpar restaurants
@@marcnairn8355 he often seems to be more concerned about the price rather than quality or authenticy. I half expected him to be drinking a sangria with that frozen paella.
@@sfactory8253 Criticising a guy for not going to 5 fine dining restaurants on a day trip which he, and most, can't afford to. Poor form from you here.
@@shoppingforleaves3162 It was half tongue in cheek but for a man of his experience then a more authentic paella shouldn't be difficult to find . I think he did some of it for dramatic effect . Monday is obviously not a great day to pick. Many might suspect it. But again someone with his experience you would assume he would know that. But it's just a bit of fun after all 😀
Around 19:00 I think you mean Catalonian, not Cantonese.
I wondered the same.
Scott, you can get churros and porras for breakfast at every bar serving beer, etc in the mornings. Breakfast time being between 9AM and 11.30ish AM. Better luck next time mate
Come to Murcia and try our pastel de carne, marinera, and estrella de levante beer❤
Excellent video, thanks
In Rome we have 2 types of parakeets...what with them and the king seagulls they make a lot of noise
They have parakeets in Amsterdam and Rotterdam as well. They are thriving and very noisy!!!
In London too
@@antifugazi probably like in the Netherlands, peta set free and taking over!!!
There’s kookaburras in Kircudbright , must’ve taken a wrong turn in Melbourne
Do they still take mid day naps (siesta). Maybe that's why a lot of places were all closed
Standard IBIS then; I’ve stayed in em in Sheffield, Manchester and Antwerp; they all look the same.
That churro was not a churro! But a porra. It seemed not to be crunchy so I asume it was mostly cold.. Funny because he passed by a chocolatería in Plaza Benavente that even though they were not the best, they could have had fresh fríed once. 24 hours spent falling from one tourist trap the next in the city cenrer
I was brought up in Scotland so tonight for dinner I’m having salchichas, huevos y patatas fritas
You’ve got to find five Spanish foods in Madrid ? Jeezo man that’s a helluva challenge
Emmm love empandas. They sell them at my local market here in Croydon
Scott and Steve Marsh, Scottish kings🏴✌️💙
Empanadas are not Spanish food. They have been introduced by Latin American inmigrants, and although they look ubiquitous, not many Spaniards eat them.
The second one looks like a cornish pasty that's lost it's way😅
Churros are big in Mexico, they are tasty!
There are loads of noisy parakeets in north London now.
Scott you passed a couple of police on horse back. Should have asked them.
You should have mentioned the 5 foods at the start.
Awe Scott, NO Spanish Tortilla, Patatas Bravis or even Chorizo on your list 🤔
and drinking Mexican beer rather than Spanish beer 🤔
Nor fabadas Asturianas, nor Ajiaco, nor many other treats in Spain.
A paella in Madrid...! That's like trying a London haggis. (Paellas are from the Valencian Community.......and there are no peas).
I hope you're off to Catalunya!
Good video
Scott finally bought a new phone
You have taught me that empanadas are Spanish. I always thought they were South American :)
The type of empanadas he ate aren't typical in Madrid!
Every contry has made some variation of empanadas. Depends where you're from you'll think your variation of "meat stuffed in pastry" is the traditional one.
Everything tastes good wrapped up in puff pastry ....
Was studying in Madrid in 2022 and it seemed closed then too
That's the kind of room as they have at ibis budget birmingham airport
No tapas? Sheesh!
Im aorry but what you ate was a porra, not a churro 🙊 The difference ia that the porra has baking soda in it to make it fluffy, while churros are just flour and water. Still, i guess it can count. I know for a fact that you recorded past many churrerías where I've had churros myself. Churros are not sold in bakeries, they are sold in café (what we call cafeteria) or bars (its like a cross between a pub and a café).
Street food doesn't happen much in Spain. It's not the done thing to ealk around and eat, it's more acceptable to sit down, even if it's only 10 minutes.
Many markets either shut or reduce their hours on a Monday as there's no fish. Some restaurants close for that reason, too.
Churros are eaten in the morning, you were lucky to get one when you did.
I've been coming to Spain for almost 50 years, I've lived here for the last 6, and I've never heard of number 5, even in Cataluña.
Shu Shu in Cantonese is a way of saying take a wee....
On Wednseday we will be going shopping and my breakfast will be churros!
Gleaming stoating about for scoff
