Like some others. Yes we do have a great variety, mainly mixing vegetables and salty water!. If we eat only this we'll be pleased. But not enough ;).<BR/><BR/>Here, we eat 1st Soup, 2nd Meat or Fish (one at lunch, the other at dinner or vice-versa), 3rd a dessert, 4th the fruit!<BR/><BR/>I'll put here the link of a national brand of cuisine so you can see the look of it, and who knows probably try ;) -> http://www.vaqueiro.pt/receitas/receita_detail.aspx?id=1123<BR/><BR/>Since you are in Spain I guess it won't be such a problem to translate.

Simple and very good.<BR/><BR/>Markets, supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware stores-my favorite places to visit in other countries. (I like museums too). In this age, where the world is so much more homogeneous, it is a pleasure to see the little unique survivals of differences in daily life.<BR/><BR/>When I was a little girl, and went to England to visit my family (in the 50s and 60s), you could have known in a minute, dropped down in London, that you were in a different country, not the US. It even smelled different..now, you could wander for quite a while, and not know whch country you were in, in much of Western Europe, Canada,and the US..Probably australia and New Zealand, too, I imagine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1165593240698836022006-12-08T16:54:00.000+01:002006-12-08T16:54:00.000+01:00anonymous, now I know for sure.
