Ahhh Pittsburgh style...fries or chips on the sammie or bacadillo!View attachment 11212found the baguettes with frites!
Is that mayonnaise on the side of the plate? Isn't that a Belgian thing? Here in Belfast it's pungent brown sauce, or curry sauce, on chips.Ahhh Pittsburgh style...fries or chips on the sammie or bacadillo!
How much does a bottle like that cost? Do they cork it or are you able to take it along & open it at a later time? Or possibly send home?One of my favorite meals, or at least the accompaniment to it.View attachment 9412
This looks like my style.View attachment 15449
Although I did eat at cafes most days, about once each week I ate picnic style and the change did add greatly to the enjoyment, fresh bread, butter, sardines and choccie biscuits, all the essentials ticked off.
Hi - that was the house wine served with dinner, pretty much as many bottles as we all wanted I recall, and very good. The dinner was probably 12 euro maybe, give or take a couple, and was also good. I would definitely recommend staying there. The dining room is a very neat round building separate from the main albergue. I was trying to upload a short video of festivities after dinner, but parts of our computer crashed recently so I need to get it off of my phone again (thankfully I kept most of my pictures there,too). I'll post it later if I can - CherryHow much does a bottle like that cost? Do they cork it or are you able to take it along & open it at a later time? Or possibly send home?
The group of five older ladies sitting together having a drink or coffee in the plaza are my Michelin star guide. It works in any town. The last time I asked for their suggestions for a good place to get a meat meal (my friend the carnivore had been fed fish for days - we're on the Norte). At their suggestion we went to Tierre Astur and this is what we had:

Raw even.Steak Tartare is served very rare.
At about £1500 per head. Go there by boat. The road is scenic but rough. Yes been closed a while.So how about elBuli? Consistently Michelin 3 starred restaurant considered by many food writers and chefs the best restaurant in the world and Ferran Aria, the head chef, a genius. Customers came from all over the world specifically to eat there, and had to make a reservation over 12 months in advance. Sadly it closed in 2011.
Don't expect good cooking if you eat the Pilgrim Menu at 6 or 7 pm, when no Spaniard would dream of eating and which is dished up as cheaply as possible. If you are paying peanuts you often get peanuts.
I've just been sorting through Camino photos and I seem to have a lot of peculiar meals View attachment 9403photographed. Anyone else?
Here's one from our Camino starting at Orleans. It is a whole Camembert, cooked, with chips on the side. The calories!!!!

I don't use the camera icon. I go to "Upload a File" (below) then 'Choose a File'. You then select your photo from one already in your system. I'm no techie, but that works for me.I'm curious how you are adding photos? When I click on the camera icon, it asks me for an image url, which seems to say it wants a photo already posted on the internet.
Help?
I would have ordered something else too!I think it was tripe. ....... I ordered something else lol
WHAT??? STOP IT!!! I gained two pounds only looking at the pictures! Gaaaah! Now I need to go out for my night walk. When I am on Camino I can eat like that, but I'm in training, people! I*cannot*look* .... well, maybe just one more photo.I'd forgotten about this one. View attachment 11055
For shame!Were you cooking for yourself?
My walking companion declared that she was not going to cook at all while on our Camino junket. Aside from little picnics we had on the path with groceries we bought, we ate all our meals in bars and restaurants, and had many wonderful meals. I don't eat meat, but the seafood was great, and the salads superb.
Perfect.For shame!Were you cooking for yourself?
My gast is flabbered too! Perhaps some pilgrims are disappointed that franchises are not lining the Way.I cannot imagine what you were eating whilst you were in Spain, or what your past culinary experiences have been, to have come up with an opinion like that!
My gast is totally flabbered!
My Idea of a perfect Camino Stop......View attachment 19160
