FOCUS ON
The Spanish have their fair
taste for unusual cuisine. Criadillas
, the testicles of the pig or
bull, are sliced and then cooked
with garlic and parsley, or
barbecued. The taste is intense
and nicer if you don't know
what you are eating! The Offal,
or odd bits are enjoyed in Spanish
cuisine. Have a look out for
these items on your menu - "
callos " (tripe), " mollejas
" (sweetbreads), " sesos " (brains),
" riñones " (kidneys)
and " criadillas " (testicles).
Remember the Spanish say
" Como tu comes tu eres
" - you are what you eat."
