Another scene from "La Odisea de los Lunnis" here Penelope shouts yeyeyey
I love this scene because it’s in a very funny way inaccurate af, but it also reflects the suitors’ persistence in a way that’s crystal clear to every kind of public. Also Penelope telling them to get lost. And what’s more, this show is full of references to Spanish culture, and this scene is a clear example of bar culture.
That’s why I’m going to mention the tapas listed by Telemachus (a very typical way of listing the dishes in a bar, where the offerings are always the same), this are just some examples tapas offer endless possibilities, and whilst many are typical of a particular region, they may be completely unknown elsewhere. If anyone would like to contribute, please do so.
Tortilla, chipirones, oreja, mejillones, sardinas, molleja, zarajos, aceitunas, calamares y panceta, muy buena...
Tortilla: Here in Spain refers to "tortilla de patata", although there's no potato in this context lol
Chipirones: as said, baby squids, the most common ones are fried, but they can also be served in a sauce
Oreja: Pig's ear in this case most commons are grilled or stewed
Mejillones: When I ask for mussels, I mean steamed mussels ("al vapor"), but then again, I don’t think there’s a consensus, or maybe I’m just stupid myself. There are steamed mussels, mussels in a salad, "tigres" , pickled mussels… my favs are "al vapor"
I don't add lemon or parsley, everyone has their own preference.
Sardinas: Whenever someone mentions sardines, this is what I picture, but I’ve also seen them smoked or tinned.
Mollejas: Is one of the most generic terms I've ever heard in my life. I've translated it here as “sweetbreads”, but to me, “mollejas” usually refers to poultry stomachs, and I think it can mean other things depending on the region you're in, you always have to ask what the “mollejas” actually are ajjajk
Zarajos: I’ve never tried them in my life, but they’re marinated and rolled-up lamb intestines that are then fried or baked, I have to say, they look really tasty.
The wonderful world of olives, I can’t possibly write about everything, but I love the ones that are marinated in rosemary, vinegar, with pickles…
Calamares: usually battered and fried, known by many names depending on the method, I like it "a la romana":
Panceta: For myself usually eaten on its own or in a bocadillo
