Tarragona was full of surprises and one of the biggest surprises was the scrumptious food. I tried a bunch of different food that I would've never thought to try if it wasn't for IES. On the second day we were in Tarragona, we all went to a restaurant where we tried a traditional Spanish dish: charred onions known as calcots. THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!!
Not to mention that the onions were only the first course to the meal. They were merely the starter. On top of that we feasted on homemade bread, fresh tomatoes with olive oil, potatoes, lamb chops, sausage, chicken, and flan for dessert. After I finished everything on my plate, since the waitress wouldn't let us leave without finishing every single thing on our table, I thought I was going to burst. I was stuffed to brim with amazing food. And to top it all off, they had these really cool wine vases. People were just pouring the wine straight into their mouths from it too!
Whether it's the food I have had from my host mom, restaurants around the city, or traveling I have always been satisfied with the food I've tried. I have yet to try pallela (which I am super sad about), but I am determined to try it before I leave!
My host mom makes this amazing dish with baked eggplant, meat, and cheese and I fell in love with it. My host mom also makes this lightly breaded fish which is to die for - it's breaded fish with a light lemon sauce to top it off and it's usually served over rice. I cant complain about the food just yet.
