It's been more than a little funny to me here. Brian had pizza the first night we were here and has ordered two hamburgers at least. One of the natives took us to a tapas restaurant called Txapela one night.
Our paper placemat had pictures of each of the 50 appetizer-sized choices. But a separate menu in six languages explained each choice.
Here's what Brian ordered:
Xistorra de Navarra
Xoric confitat a la sidra
Brie fos
Bunoi de bacalla amb allioli suau
Hamburguesa amb formatge i mostassa
Doesn't that sound exotic? When it came it was the equivalent of two different kids of hot dogs, grilled cheese, fried fish and a hamburger.
I love it!
In my defense, the hamburgers I ordered weren't just any hamburgers. They were works of art...one at a 5-star restaurant and another at a beachfront restaurant facing the Mediterranean. The average price was somewhere between $15 to $20!
