Most people will spontaneously agree Spanish cuisine is great. But few will name even 2-3 dishes of this supposedly great cuisine, because everything is so mediocre.
>AI sloppa
Idiot thread...
Patatas bravas are hilariously bad
>>21997902i don't agreespanish cuisine is shitbut i have a soft spot for their cakes because i like almonds
>>21997952What an insanely incohesive postYou dislike the cuisine but you like it because you like almonds?
>>21997902reminder that taste atlas was made by a literal hardcore commie from croatia who (after making a commie/pro zigger propaganda news outlet) refused to pay taxes and then proceeded to escape to bulgaria
>>21997902roadkill, i'll pass
>>21997902Why rely on a Croatian troll website's ratings to judge Spanish food? Paella de mariscos isn't even paella, it's exactly the same as arroz marinero.
>>21997902>If a cuisine doesn't have poor immigrants opening restaurants and making it known abroad, it's mediocre
>>21997902I went to a tapas place before. Pretty much the only time I've had Spanish food. It was super mid.Someone tell me a good dish they make that's more uniquely them and not like italian or french
>>21997902Tasteatlas posting should warrant a permaban.
Yeah it sucks.
>one of the best things in existence left off the list entirelyTypical of that site.
>>21998037> Refuse to pay taxes> Didn't even get punished> Makes food contentI don't care about his politics, he's fucking based
>>21999286What is?
>>21997902Got the opertunity to go to Spain for a week for work, food was pretty fantastic. Notable mentions were the grilled octopus, Iberian pork, fried cuttlefish, and jamón. Also had some sheep brain with a garlic butter sauce, 100% worth the possible prion disease.
>>21997902>cochinillowhat 800 years of arab occupation does to a mf
>>21997902where's the pastiel de nata?
>>21999453Fuck off TasteAtlas. Do your own data mining.
>>21997984Obtuse/dense motherfucker, he said he liked one thing of their cuisine but the rest is shit.
>>21999698
>>21999832Thought it was gonna be the family guy version.
>>21997902>Most people will spontaneously agree Spanish cuisine is greatWould they, though?
>>21999286>one of the best things in existence>just a worse version of a pizza bite
>>21997902literally me
>>21997902Spanish cuisine is mediocre but gets carried by simple dishes that turn out delicious because fresh mediteranean produce is god tierLike yeah what's basically a tomato soup like Gazpacho or Salmorejo is ridiculous to go crazy about but it really is that delicious and hits like nothing else during summerSame with how stupidly delicious is to eat a whole baguette dipping it in the oil you fried some garlic and shimps, it's stupid and it's simple but might be the most delicious thing a human has ever tasted.I'm going to say though, more complex dishes like Paella do nothing for me, they're alright but that's it.I miss spain so bad bros
>>22000101>ingredient: :|>ingredient, mediterranean: :O
>>22000101I miss it too bro
>>21998088Spaniards ARE the poor immigrants opening restaurants abroad you fucking disgusting inbred faggot. What's next, bragging that Poland has no immigrants?
>>21997917You never ad good bravas m8
>>22000164unironically yes
>>22000934Maybe 30 years ago gramps
>>21997902Spain is fucked. They’ve pretty much declared an open border for Africans.
>>21999596Stop feeding the Croatian datamining bot.
>anon doesnt like stewignores: ham. cheese. olives. booze. sandwiches
>>22001075Tell me of these spanish sandwiches
>>22001109There is one of fried battered calamari and nothing else. And then there's one of fried steak and nothing else, and fried chorizo with nothing else. You getting the picture now.
>>22000085sleep tight, pigger
>>21997902An ACTUAL Valencian paella is fantastic. I occasionally get invited to dinners whenever I'm in the area since I've got friends there. Nothing beats a proper homemade paella valenciana (not a paella de marisco, I'm not a fan). Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to find a restaurant that makes decent paella, even in Valencia, but at least you can make it yourself. Gazpacho and salmorejo are some of my favorite soups and I make them regularly. Tomate frito is a great tomato sauce and works well for all sorts of dishes.
Spaniard here. I dont think our food is particularly distinct compared to other southern europe countries, nor I think there should be a burden for spanish food to make itself different from the rest instead of the other way around.Theres also the fact that spain is quite a culturally heterogeneous country, so its difficult to pigeonhole the gastronomy into truly nation-wide dishes. Eating out in the south eastern coast of spain is quite different from the north, so I dont know.>>22000101There's some truth to this. But on the other hand, some of the best restaurants right now are in Spain. Yes, traditional eating is very simple and doesnt use much spice or whatever. But isnt simplicity usually the case for traditional food? And in case we're speaking about sophisticated stuff, we have that covered too with world class chefs.I'd say if you want to experience spanish food, rather than fixating on specific dishes, you would do better on focusing on the customs of how and when. I honestly think bar culture in Spain is quite unique and when im abroad i dont think i can find an equivalent in europe. If you look for homemade stuff, you should look for how used we are to eating all sorts of beans in different kinds of stews. If these arent to your taste or you consider them lowly, then fair enough.
>>22000934no one ever has said pizza, chinese, mexican or lets try that new spanish place that just opened.
>>22000934I've never seen a spanish restaurant in my european country. We have italians, balkans, chinese, vietnamese, thai... never spanish.>fucking disgusting inbred faggotTake your meds.
>>21999596I ate so much of all the kinds of chorizo on my first 2 days in Spain that I could barely eat anything for the rest of the week. There was simply no space in my stomach. All kinds of seafood was great. Wasn't a huge fan of gaspacho.
>>22000101>>22002041I think part of it may be because Spanish cuisine is anathema to Anglo food. Vibrant colors and bold flavor.s
