comida

Many people have been asking me about the food here... what its like, how delicious it is, how expensive it is etc. Okay the food is AMAZING!! So tasty!! And at the supermarkets food is relatively inexpensive, especially fruits and vegetables as compared to the United States. It is also much easier to buy fresh food because of the quantity of small, independently owned fruit and vegetable stands around the city. In addition, most neighborhoods have indoor markets where vendors sell everything from Octopus to Kiwis.

The only problems I have had with the food are a) being a vegetarian can be a struggle sometimes, this is absolutely a meat eating country, and b) eating out is absolutely delicious but it gets expensive very quickly!!

That being said, I try to go out to eat as much as I can! Here are some pictures from two restaurant experiences:

 CAFE DELFIN (in Born District)

 Mussel Tapas

 Patatas Bravas: french fries covered in spicy tomato sauce and garlic aioli sauce

 Fried Hot Peppers... salty and delicious!

 Tortilla Española, with added vegetables

 VEGETALIA (vegetarian restaurant in Ciutat Vella... amazing find for the vegetarians of the group!!)

Celia, Vicky, and Evie

We were too busy eating our food to photograph it until the very last second! This was grilled vegetables with a Chimichurri sauce

 Brown rice with a salty nut topping... SO PERFECT

Blog nemesis Vicky eating the last bite of her veggie burger, I believe it was soy and red pepper?
