I am watching you eat these little fish with bones and eating the bones and the tails and the guts, drinking the juice out of a shrimp head and saying you can eat the shell. I did not frow up around anyone doing such things. We peel the shrimp and deveine them and then cook them, and I have never eaten fried little fish much less with the tail and guts and all. I wander if I am missing out. I love seafood. I am thinking if I went to another country and ate they would think I was crazy. The little breaded ball with meat in the middle looked interesting. It looked a little pricy too me for such simple foods. Often when I watch your videos I think you picked a really good place to live foodwise. Where I live the food was amazing years ago. They used to have stands with tiny soft okra and you could pick it out and take it home and bread it with cornmeal or cornmeal mixed with a bit of flour and fry it in lard and it ws amazing. Now the okra here is big and hard and stringy or the restaurant serve frozen okra. Once we had baskets of fresh hot bread and butter on the table, and now it is not as good. The dinner would make homemade mashed potatoes or cut up little squared boiled and strained potatoes covered in loads of butter and heated through so it was creamy and they called them creamed potatoes. Now they mostly serve instant potatoes, and they call them creamed potatoes. Potato cakes one were just leftover mashed potatoes formed into patties sometimes dusted with a small bit of flour which is not even needed at all and fried in small bits of butter til golden and crispy on one side and then turned gently and cripsed up on the other side while adding a bit of Lawry's as you cook it. Those are the best things in the world to me, but now people ruin them and mix them with eggs and flour until they taste yucky. We always cooked frnch toast cut in triangles and dipped in egg once and shaking the extra off and then fried in butter so we did not need any sugar or syrup, but sometimes people add way to much egg so the french toast eggs are thick and gooey and ewww gross. I like grilled cheese with bacon and eggs with runny yellow but firm white cooked and put on the grilled bacon and cheese sandwich, but I don't want runny french toast. I see you eat all these foods and I think I am far to picky. You are lucky you like so much. I like my grilled cheese sandwiches cooked at home under the broiler in the oven with 3 tiny blocked bits of butter dropped on the bread so there are 3 buttery gooey parts and I flip them and add the same to the other side. I would not want to go out to eat and order grilled cheese unless i did not like the choices or the food was very expensive and I was hungry and trying to buy something really cheap off their menu. I understand why other countries must hate Americans as I know they would not like me cause I am so picky. I need to be more open to trying things. I wish we had some of the things you eat here for me to try.

TIPIf eggplant is not coated with batter before deep frying, then, it should be diced into cubes. Don't cut them into rounds because the eggplant is softy and runny and tends to break if rounds are fried without dipping in lightly spiced batter. Many people drain the liquid from eggplant but this is destructive and lowers the nutrient density because on draining, by keeping slices of eggplant under a weight or patting between tissue paper, the water soluble vitamins and trace minerals run out leaving the eggplant slices bereft of vital nutrients. Fry the cubed and undrained eggplant lightly smeared with crushed cayenne pepper and garlic paste till crisp on the outside and slightly less crisp inside to get a marvellous gradient of textures.

they didn't clean the shrimp, so you ate shrimp poop. Where they really that good compared to other shrimp you ate, in the East? I give it to the spanish, their jamon iberico is delicious. their tacos not so good: ] but I did find a cple of taco places in spain, tried too train the servers on a simple Mexican sauce for their tacos. Funny, Americans that go to spain expect tacos when they go to spain, kind of funny if you think about it. a good taco stand with a good chile sauce would make a killing in spain or any place in Europe. But to be fair I ate mostly tapas or pinchos. Their [ox tails] rabo encendido is to die for, its good

Thank you, Mark for a most interesting and entertaining view of Barcelona. i will be visiting the city in the fall and know nothing about it except the Sagrada Familia. You have given me 'the cook's tour' of this charming destination. I love your reactions to the food you eat. You almost swoon from the good tastes. I love that about your presentation. I look forward to viewing the blogs about the other cities I will visit. You have me drooling

Hi the smolest fish are anchovys, the medium size fish are also anchovys, big ones, that they have to be fritted without head and the shrimp sauce its called Salsa verde (Green sauce) its made with garlic, olive oil, salt and parsey, it mix well with grilled/fritted fish, shrimps/prawns and also, not fatty pork parts.

The fish at 22: 00 is swordfish. Chefs often overcook it because they try to treat it like a beef steak, and then try to hide their poor cooking skills by dumping a sauce on it. That last meal looked terrible. Kudos to you for being able to smile through it. I would have sent it back, especially that steak.

I know the Euro is low against the dollar but those lunch prices are expensive 45 for appetizer or lunch for a few small plates of tapas they should be about half of that. Maybe those were typical tourist trap where they want to take your money since you won't likely be back as repeat customer.

Mediterranean food (Portugal/Spain/France/Italy/Greece) is the best food and healthiest food you can get. Piece of advice, do never ever eat a sardine's head don't eat the bones either. Sardines are extremely heathy to eat, yet they live a strong smells on your fingers.
