Holà! I hope you're well. Today, I'm taking you to a little trip and an exploration of two culinary cultures and two ways of eating. Just for fun. 😀I'm not an expert of Spanish culture. If you have some information to add about Spanish food and way of eating, drop a comment below!
When I make Spanish Omelette, after it has set on the bottom, I finish the cooking under a hot grill. This avoids having to turn it over when the top is still liquid, with all the potential disaster that provides! I really like your cheese board that is in the shape of France! Hope you are not suffering too much from the heatwave.
Génial ! Une très bonne idée, félicitations ! Ma grand-mère préparait une soupe de tomates en été (beaucoup de tomates, une carotte, un poivron et un oignon rouge – bouillis avec une pincée de sel, puis bien écrasés après cuisson), à laquelle elle ajoutait « sous la pluie » un peu de riz et d'huile d'olive à la fin. On la mange froide, avec du persil haché et éventuellement de la feta. Je vais essayer le gaspacho aussi, merci beaucoup ! Bonne journée ! 🌺🌺🌺
Bonjour. I recall hearing in Spain that Spanish Omlette was called "Poor Man's Omlette" because potatoes which are less expensive I am guessing, and extend the protein. I also spent a summer in Spain with two families in a 4-H exchange in Alicante area in 1970. Very safe, poor and conservative. Franco was still in power until 1972. Wine was the same price as Coca-Cola or bottled water. Cheese and bread, but very little dairy like butter or milk. Everything was made with Olive Oil, even cakes! I never aquired a taste for Anchovies but I know the French also like them. No English spoken but more French when I was there due to tourism. I managed with High School Spanish and our US chaperone taught Spanish and lived in S. America on an exchange. Merci, I really enjoyed this vlog. Your recipes are so good and nutritious.
You are the second video featuring Spanish omelette I have watched this evening. This is a sign. 😊 Though I need a non stick pan – currently only have a steel pan and eggs stick badly to that regardless of oil. 🙂
Yes i enjoy eating jamon serrano and jamon iberico, and spanish cheeses , and the little anchovies/ boquerones are so tasty. And your soup and omelette looked very good! One of my favourite tapas is gambas pil pil. Thank you for the video☀️🙋
Hi , Love your videos xx Thankyou for filming them ❤ xx Gaynor
A French person calling courgettes zucchinis?!
I do like this type of video. The Spanish food seems a bit colorful. 😋 it I good to see the differences in cooking style and food choices. Thanks for sharing ❤
I was just last month in Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Córdoba, and Sevilla. It was an amazing trip discovering my ancestors' country of origin. I am from Hispanoamérica; many of the traditions are still followed there. Yes, we had "pan tomate" at a restaurant for lunch, so you did that right. With the tortilla, practice makes perfect, and yes, you should always add onion; that is, in my opinion, the ingredient that makes it tasty. For the gazpacho to be red, I use red peppers; there are some recipes that I follow that contain almonds, and they taste great. All your Spanish meals looked delicious. Thank you for a fun tour of Spanish cuisine.
I like this kind of video 😊 Could you please compare french with greek cuisine as well?
What a clever idea! So glad you did this. I remember the episode when you compared what your Italian friend ate and compared to the French.
I too cook Spanish style dishes.
Your gazpacho was perfect. The one tomato was rather dark and caused the finished soup to not be red. I make mine using all ripe Roma tomatoes. Also, some cilantro in the recipe or as a garnish would have been nice.
Paprika, smoked or not is a regular ingredient too. And may I recommend rice and beans such as Cannellini or broad butter beans. Finally fish such as hake and sardines are a regular feature. The tomato bread you made looks delicious and is a staple. Try lightly rubbing fresh garlic on the crusty bread after toasting but before drizzling with extra virgin olive oil. A hint of garlic on the breath is ok provided others enjoy the same meals too.
Please keep your very interesting videos coming.
All my best…Joseph.
I enjoyed the contrast, thank you. I prefer butter on bread than olive oil, but it is delicious on occasion. I was also surprised at the colour of the gazpacho, but am sure it tasted good! The tortilla also looked good – it’s difficult to turn over and get out the pan in one piece, that’s for sure!
What a fun episode! Great way to learn more about a country through their cuisine and traditions.
That all looks absolutely delicious! It's winter where I am, so I'll refer back to this vid in summer 🎉
To reduce the oil in the tortilla you can "fry" the potatoes in the microwave, that reduces a lot cooking time and calories. If you add some courgette to the tortilla it is also yummy!
Spanish food is everything. Hearty, rustic and full of great flavour
Great video. When I was in spain, I loved patatas bravas (I could eat potatoes all day every day), gambas al ajillo, calamares fritos, and seafood paella. Delish!
So interesting!!
Sorry, that’s something similar to a Spanish dinner, but not a lunch…..And Spaniards don’t eat cheese in the middle of a meal—let alone that kind of cheese… that’s French!
I think the colour would be better with just red pepper and tomatoes. Mine is always red but I use just ripe red tomatoes. I use cucumber in the finely chopped garnish
I love gazpacho. I can make it all summer. American Ina Garten has a great recipe I use.
Hola! 😅Great video. I love tortilla española ❤ it takes a few tries to master the flip you did a great job.
You can brown the egg omelet under the broiler, if using a nonstick pan the potatoes will not stick, I make a cabbage omelette on the stove, it comes out perfectly brown on both sides…
I love your channel. Would you consider giving a tour of your kitchen and your equipment that you have? Also, is it hard to wash your large cooking pans in the small kitchen sink? I am asking because one day I would like to have a smaller kitchen exactly as you have,
Fantastic video. Your tortilla looked delcious. I liked the spring onions and red peppers in it, traditionally, it is usually onions, but why not tweek it to your liking. You showed me a good technique to follow. My last tortillas were a disaster, they fell apart. I usually have Gazpacho in Spain, whether home made or supermarket ones. I love the food in France too. I am going to Paris, Perpignan, Carcassonne and Toulouse in September and I will have a feast. I am going to go to a bouillon in Paris and sample the classics I have not tried before. In the south, there is cassoulet of course in Toulouse and Carcassonne which has some similarities to judiones in Spain. Perpignan, catalan cuisine and brandade, which I am looking forward to eating. They do brandade in some places in Spain – with the morue or bacalao. In Andalusia, there is something quite similar done with salt cod and potatoes and its called rin ran. Thanks for sharing, you are a great cook!
What a fake person you are! You ask me something and then delete my comment. Typical French! And just so you know, in Spain we can't stand the French—although I think you're not welcome anywhere in the world. I'm more and more convinced of that."
Prepotentes!
Y "hola" no lleva acento.
GRACIAS! Would you be willing to do a Meet-up with your fans on Sunday, September 20? Or I could book a Nutrition Appointment for Monday, September 21? Thank you!
If you go lower heat, you do not need to flip the whole thing (covering will cook it through and then when you cut a serving slice, you can flip that onto the plate for the golden bottom to show)…
