A tiny note on Basque Pinxos


There is a Basque bar in Barcelona where I love to eat 'pinxos', which are Basque tapas - mostly bits of something on bread ( as in the liplickingly good photo above). The Basque take their pinxos very seriously and at dinner time, conglomerate in numbers to eat these while chatting and laughing with their friends. They take their food very seriously too which is probably why most of the 3 star Michelin restaurants in Spain are in the Basque country.

The pinxo on the right is my all time favourite, Xistorra! I just need to look at it to get a cholesterol high! It is a paprika sausage and fried, sends you to that part of heaven reserved for those flirting with a heart attack but hey! a once a month delight can't kill me, right?

  1. certainly not, there is NO good evidence for a link between intake of dietary saturated fat and heart disease ...otherwise France would have high cardiac problems...it doesn't.
