Seville is a food lover’s paradise. But, first, you have to get on the Spainish schedule. What is the Spainish schedule you may ask? Well, first breakfast (or desayuno) is from around 7 until around 9 and typically something small. We never made it out of bed for first breakfast. Second breakfast (or almuerzo) is around 10:30 to around 11:30. This is often some sort of sandwich or churros. And, you will often see locals having a small beer with second breakfast. Lunch (or comida) is generally from about 2 to about 4 and is the biggest meal of the day. Comida literally translates as “food” which tells you something about how important lunch is to the Spanish. Then there is snack time (or merienda) around 5 and that is usually something sweet like churros or something cured like a small ham sandwich. Dinner (or cena) doesn’t start until 8 and most people wouldn’t think about dinner until 9 or so. Got it? It was a real struggle for us (ok, for me) to get on the Spanish timetable.
Yema sobre bizcocho de boletus y vino caramelizado at Eslava. It is a slow cooked egg on (I think) a mushroom cake with a caramelized wine reduction. Robert said it was delicious — I didn’t get near it. I do have to admit it was pretty….
