Because I'm not American neither English (I'm Catalan) I can't give my opinion, but I have the same problem that Jabbur. In Catalan we say "dinar" to the noon meal, and "sopar" to the evening meal. Then I become mad to translate "supper"... I never know what are you referring about! Somebody use...

I've read the article, Merstar. It's very interesting all the magazine, including one article dedicated to Siurana PDO (the kind of oil that I use) and the problems that they will have with the global warming in the future. Concerning to the wine that you tasted in St. Feliu de Guixols, I think...

In Catalonia we have a lot of regional wines. I suppose that you have tasted the Empordà wines. Don't you? Did you bought that oil in US? I don't know that oil brand. Anyway, I don't use that kind of bottled oil, because we buy our olive oil directly from farmers. In Tarragona, the farmers...

Hehehe! I'm really very happy with your comment Merstar. Not in vain we have had the most important restaurants in world: El Bulli and El Celler de Can Roca. Anyway, there's not necessary to go to the famous restaurants for eating very good. Here are a lot of little or unknown restaurants that...

Thank you CG!:smile: Nice to meet you! That's exactly what we do. We don't eat too much in the morning, but at midmorning, we eat a sandwich. When we arrive at lunch time we are hungry! It's only a question of habits and climate: we eat at the hottest hours of the day (around 1 to 3 pm)...

I have to recognize that we don't eat too much equilibrated related to the amount of food that we eat during the day. We eat few at the morning, a lot at lunch time and a lot too at the dinner time. Anyway, our food timetable is different that yours, because we are eating around 2 pm, and we...

Today I have had boiled cauliflower with mayonnaise sauce and two pieces of griddled pork. As a dessert, strawberries macerated in sugary milk. -Ireneu-

I agree with you, but the pressure cooker needs to have some liquid to work properly. If not, you are using the pressure cooker as a pan and then you risk to burn the food. -Ireneu-

I like all kind of olives! Anyway, for me, the most tasty olives are the "Arbequina" Olives and the black olives. The arbequina olive is a very small olive that we have here in Catalonia. We use it so extensive for making a varietal olive oil and as appetizer. You can find more information...
