I quite like it, it is different from other ciders, but nice. Just don't let it sit in your glass ;-) SY
We'll have a go at it in two weeks' time[...]But sidra seems to have a lot of really strong roots in Asturian society, so there must be something going on. [...] But don't miss a chance to experience it on the Primitivo!
Cultural actually.... "carajo" is a nasty word ...
Fabes.........Queso de Cabrales............. Sidriña...........el cielo
Buen Camino!
Sidrina.
Sidriña es como lo dirían en Galicia si tuvieran sidra.
We are now in Cornellana, and I have to say we seem to be pretty hopeless at finding all the good food and drink that people talk about ! Never managed to try a Sidr eria on the Salvador. But finally tried it here! It was ok but by machine so missed the whole ritual of the pouring ...anyway can tick it off the list and go back to the vino tinto!
Yep I was very cynical about the pouring tradition but it does change the taste and when it has settled it does noticeably taste different. Or rather you dont get the aromas, it goes kind of from 3D to 2D if you know what I mean.
A few years ago, I was on a non-Camino related trip across Northern Spain and I tried sidra in Potes. I ordered a bottle and a large pint glass and poured the whole bottle into the glass (in the normal way) and began drinking. It seemed that the eyes of every local in a 500m radius were on me and I had no idea why. Halfway through the pint glass I realised why, when my face started puckering up like a squeezed lemon. It hasn't put me off drinking it on several other occasions though!!
