[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said food in Spain is good? LOL.

Maybe gastro places in basque, but not the country on whole. You can only have the same five meals so many times. [/quote]

Ignore this ignorant poster.[/quote]

No need to be rude, b.

I spent two months traveling around Spain for work. Aside from Basque, where is all of this good food in Spain? A few good dishes no doubt, but it's very monotonous. Not really where I'd go for "good food".

Sorry buddy, you have bad luck and/or chose poorly if you could not find good food in Spain but the Basque region. If you are going back anytime soon, I'll give you a few suggestions.

There's good food everywhere, including Madrid and Barcelona.  Barcelona has amazing seafood and paella.  You can get jamon everywhere and that's delicious.  When in Madrid, I stayed at an apartment close to this market, which is a foodie paradise:

Watch this Anthony Bourdain special:

"According to Tony, outside of Asia, Spain is the single greatest place for culinary achievement in the world."

I have friends in the restaurant industry, and they're all raving about San Sebastian. I've never been, but my understanding is that it has a lot of avant garde restaurants.  So if you're a jaded traveler, you'd probably want to check this place out.[/quote]

Jamon
Suckling pig

Rinse, repeat.

One of the best meals in my life just outside San Sebastián, but that's Basque, not typical Spain. Anthony is probably referring to Basque. But he's a pig so not sure I'd value his opinion.

Like Mrs. Constanza said, "But Geoooorgie, who's going to eat ALL of this paella?!"[/quote]
