With a cold beer (or a glass of red): Anytime!Oh, and Padron peppers are always a winner when ordered as snack.
I love pulperias, the ambiance and the communal eating, but I am trying to give up pulpo, so it was with some relief on my last camino I realized that my favourite pulperia, Luis in Sarria does Carne ó Caldeiro as well. I don't know how they are going to manage in the future with covid restrictions but when you ask for postre and chupittos at the end they bring you a big block with several different cheeses on with a big wedge of membrillo and you just help yourself, the chuppitos the same, I usually ask for mulberry infused orujo and they bring a big frost covered bottle straight out of a freezer with little shot glasses from there as well and you just help yourself, they dont keep bills they memorize everything or estimate it, I always feel I have been undercharged when ever I have been there.
I have to say I will eat most things. Bamboo lice, red ants, crocodile, emu, haggis, though I draw the line at 'Balut'.
But Pulpo?
I've tried it many times.
In places highly recommended.......
In Melide the 'home' of Pulpo some say.
Just tastes like soft rubber sprinkled with paprika to me
I just don't get it
I wish I could enjoy it.
It depends where you eat it, Ezekiel in Melide is a camino must,
Yep. Tried it there too.............
On the VdlP, whole Seville oranges, freshly fallen from the trees and left to litter pavements and parks. I regularly filled my bike panniers with these and gorged on them at my leisure - they're wonderfully thirst-quenching - much to the incredulity of passing Spanish pilgrims who consider them inedible as dessert fruit.Fresh squeezed orange juice!
You sure are lucky!I'm lucky to have a husband who loves Spain, loves to cook Spanish food and we love Spanish wine. Tonight he made my favorite Camino meal along with a red wine from Toro.
I suffered food poisoning while walking and when I recovered I ate anything and everything. Lost 15 pounds while continuing to walk so I was hungry when able to eat again. It was all deliciousIn another thread here, started by @Arn , discusting food is being discussed. Interesting, and I have learned a little about what to definitely avoid!
However, my Caminos have tought me a lot about Spanish food, and how nice it can be: So the question is: What did you particurlarly enjoy for food while on your Camino?
For me, I must say that a ration of choriso fritte, with bread (pan) and a glass of red, sitting by the main square in Carrion de los Condes, people-watching, is one of my favourites.
What about you?
Caldo Galeco very goodIn Galicia I would eat Caldo Galego every day.
I did enjoy all grilled or baked meat. No Pulpo for me. Was invited by another pilgrim for tasting, but I am, in fact, very picky in terms of seafood.In another thread here, started by @Arn , discusting food is being discussed.

Agree, but a cold beer...Hi Alex, for me you can't beat the morning café with a slice or two of tortilla.
Buen camino
My favourite seafood is grilled zamburiñas too. In Galicia you can eat it in many restaurants because they have them frozen.A perfect food day on the camino would be café con leche and tostadas with garlic and tomate for breakfast, lomo con huevos for second breakfast, and lentejas, which is oddly never as good when I make it myself, for a light lunch. Then a selection of tapas for the evening meal - pimientos de Padrón, pork cheeks in sherry sauce, chicken and chorizo stew - rounded off with grilled zamburiñas with a glass of cold albariño ... and manchego with membrillo for dessert. Yum!
It was whatever I ate when I was hungryIn another thread here, started by @Arn , discusting food is being discussed. Interesting, and I have learned a little about what to definitely avoid!

I would agree, especially at the finish of the day. But when in England I really don't like wine - it tastes like vinegar to me. However I loved all the wine on the CF, luckily I was walking alone so I normally ended up with a full bottle - it would have been rude to leave any.Agree, but a cold beer...
Aren't they Pinchos in Pamplona? "The Dutch guidebook says they're pinchos!" (The Way) ;-)Pamplona and Logrono have incredible Tapas bars. Go there, point at stuff, enjoy. If you are feeling frisky, ask for the house specialties.
Foncebadon has the Taberna Gaia. Go there.
The Cocido Maragato in Astorga might be... on the ewww side of things. On a cold day, after a long hike it hits a spot.
The different variations of Pulpo might be worth the strange texture
If a plaxe is selling xipirones/chipirones... order them Chances are higher closer to Galicia.
+1 for Caldo Gallego. In fact i cooked something similar just this weekend.
Not a recommendation with a certain place or dish, but: if they offer a specifically vegan menu, order it. I like meat a lot, after a dozen pilgrim menus i needed the change. So did my body.
Jamon Iberico de Bellota is incredibly expensive, but you need to try it once.
edit: If you see spaniards standing in line in front of a place to purchase whatever kind of food, stand in the same line. Period.
Actually, there is both to be had. I used tapas as the more general term, but actually, ther variety of pintxos is amazing and i strongly recommend them.Aren't they Pinchos in Pamplona? "The Dutch guidebook says they're pinchos!" (The Way) ;-)
Balut? In Spain? The only time I heard the cry: Balut! was in Manila, Philippines, around 1 in the morning. Have I missed something? I could not bring myself to even visualise it...I have to say I will eat most things. Bamboo lice, red ants, crocodile, emu, haggis, though I draw the line at 'Balut'.

I could go on, as I often do.
This was one of my favourite breakfasts on the 2016 Camino in Cardeñuela Riopico.View attachment 93861Breakfast fantasy on the Camino
And now: on the first morning of the first day of walking my first Camino: the bar in Burguete that produced a fresh tortilla, with fresh bread and cafe con leche. Never yet overtaken by any of the many delights of the culinary offerings on the various Spanish camino I have walked. The invariably delicious and satisfying menus offered in Portugal from Oporto onwards, perhaps highlighted by the flamboyant chap who offered us all some normal spaghetti Bolognese, but preceded by a flaming chorizo. offered as gift from the house.
Read my post again, I'm not giving it as a great place to eat, I like it for other reasons, I like the theater of it.
You have just reminded me of something I love, but "try" to stay away from!The utter JOY of finding a McDonalds and not having to eat Spanish food - Big Mac, large fries!!
Apart my usual diet of tortilla at any time of the day (there was one place on the 'scenic' route into Burgos that had several varieties that were very tasty), I remember a nice dish in Logroño called 'cojonudo' that included what Brits call black pudding and a fried egg.In another thread here, started by @Arn , discusting food is being discussed.

I really liked Cuatro Cantones, but didn't know about the fabada, so good reason to return. Calle Laurel in Logroño is a place that everyone should visit. And as for the wine, fantastic throughout though I arrived at Irache a bit early to appreciate the quality of the fuente del vino when I tasted it.Fabada in Cautro Cantones
Fresh orange juice everywhere
Chicken noodle soup in Zariquiegui
Tapas in Logrono
Wine of to many types to list in to many places
Tapas in Logrono and Santiago
Santiago cake in Santiago
Where is that beautiful place.I dream of all the fresh seafood along the Camino del Norte, everydayView attachment 93770View attachment 93771View attachment 93772View attachment 93773View attachment 93774!

This place is neither fine dining nor rustic charm, but if you're in one of the Camino Frances cities (Pamplona, Burgos, Santiago, etc.) the chain restaurant Cerveceria 100 Montaditos is an inexpensive and convenient way to feed yourself, and the system of ordering doesn't require too much in the way of Spanish-speaking skills, as you order food and drink by ticking a series of boxes and wait for the signal when your food is ready. Quite a few of them have WiFi as well.In another thread here, started by @Arn , discusting food is being discussed. Interesting, and I have learned a little about what to definitely avoid!

Really hard to believe.You have just reminded me of something I love, but "try" to stay away fror
I think that the only cheese mentioned so far is Manchego. I also like tetilla and Arzua- Ulloa
Tipico gallego cheese,muy bueno.eI think that the only cheese mentioned so far is Manchego. I also like tetilla and Arzua- Ulloa
And the Bierzo!Sorry, not food, but the Rioja ...
Why? McDonalds use good belly cuts of 100% local beef with no additives except salt and pepper, fresh salads, freshly baked good bread from the country they are based in, free range eggs, free range milk, all cooked freshly to order - plus best fresh ground bean coffee at the best price in Europe ... apart from wild claims against - what is wrong with any of their menu? I like it, like it all.Really hard to believe.
