A Winter Meal

In Barcelona, paella and tapas are not typically on the menu if you can evade the tourist traps. This past Friday, rather than fending for myself in my small, green, rickety kitchen, I got to experience a traditional Catalan winter meal in the nearby town of Sant Cugat. Trekking through a muddy forest was not kind to my brand new shoes or my growing hunger, but the scenery and fresh air were a welcome distraction.

I couldn't do this meal justice with words (still trying to find my blog voice!), so here are some pictures. Enjoy!


Neighbors with picky tastes left this entire plate para mi
 
Ashy remnants; how we ate the in-season calçots (leeks)... Messy!
The rabbit's head (teeth and all!) deterred my already waning appetite...


Buen provecho!
