I spent a month traveling around Spain and I was surprised at how great the food was. Rarely ever hear anybody mention Spanish food but damn, it was fucking good. I would love to head to an old bar/tavern in Southern Spain and have some fried sardines, a glass of sherry and some olives right now. Or alternatively I could be in the Basque country eating pinxtos and drinking wine with some friends.

Also salmorejo is one of the best fucking cold soups there is. Spanish wine and cheese are underrated and good jamon is just as good as prosciutto. Seafood in the southand the basque is super high quality. The olive oil is abundant and high quality. And though tapas are a bit of a meme, they were actually great too.

Since then a Spanish restaurant opened in my city and it is regulalrly one of highest rated and most popular. Spanish food is good.

Sadly, Italian expats helped Italia to be fairly recognized worldwide. That never happened with Spain

[Anonymous No.13733456]

so let me get this straight, spagbol from a jar dumped over creamette shells counts as italian food, but all the different local twists on bacalao a la vizcaina or paella valenciana or the 4000 kinds of chorizo in latin america aren't recognized worldwide, or don't count?

The thing is that you can find that bastardization of Italian food all over the world (particularly the "West" aka Europe, the Americas, ANZAC) with relative ease. Spanish-style food is considerably harder to find in most of the "West" that's not in some way related to Spain. I love it to bits, I'd give my liver for some jamon serrano, but it isn't nearly as easy to do something that vaguely qualifies as it for the average shmuck.

I think French food is definitely a lot richer than Spanish food, very savoury, heavy flavors, all that. I prefer Spanish food to Italian food overall. That said, I do enjoy English food, so for all intents and purposes I am some kind of nutjob.

I can't speak to Africa or Australia but in Asia/North America/Latam/Europe, tapas is a pretty popular thing in major cities, and by your broader definition of "bastardized" Spanish food is literally all over the Americas and also the Philippines

[Anonymous No.13733558]

Tapas is a format, that's not food. I could make "whatever food tapas" and won't be Spanish

[Anonymous No.13733579]

>>13733558
Keep moving those goalposts.

An eating and drinking establishment that calls itself a "tapas" place and has Spanish soccer team accessories on the wall and serves wine and small plates including olives and sliced ham and shit like that is Spanish if a jar of spagbol dumped over boiled noodles is Italian. Even if you don't consider it sufficiently "authentic"

[Anonymous No.13733585]

>>13733558
Same goes with slav butterbrod, anything put on a loaf of bread can fit the description.
But tapas for example, use varied regional pickled fish or cured meats,, thats what makes it a tapa, while for ruskies, butterbrot is called butterbrot because of butter and doctor sausage. The ingredient is behind the denomination

[Anonymous No.13733627]

>>13733547
I'd say that Philippine/LatAm food is something unto its own. It is influenced directly by Spanish food, don't get me wrong. But it isn't like the "bastardized" Italian food that you can fight pretty much anywhere (like spagbol, because bolognese is from Emilia-Romagna and spaghetti is from Naples, with huge socioeconomical differences between the two, like the fact that ragu alla bolognese is way too rich for Neapolitan food as well as calling for tagliatelle most of the time, which is mostly eggs and flour, while spaghetti is mostly water and flour and generally would be served like ragu alla napoletana, which doesn't use finely diced meat - instead going for slices - nor carrots, milk or white wine and calls for way more onion).

[Anonymous No.13733633]

>>13733627
It kinda seems like you're saying "I know more details about italian food than about spanish food therefore latam/flip versions of spanish food can't be like american versions of italian food"

Obviously foods change when you move countries, they get combined with local foods, the techniques are different, they might get combined with other immigrant foods or served in ways that wouldn't be normal in the original cuntry

Just because you can articulate what's abnormal or weird about bastardized italian doesn't mean bastardized spanish isn't bastardized, or spanish

[Anonymous No.13733662]

>>13733633
I think Italian-American cuisine is more like meatball subs or just subs in general, that's something that starts in the Italian community in America (so, I suppose spagbol does count, but no one tries to pass spagbol as being Italian-American). Comparatively, I look at, say, LatAm food (which is where I'm from), and I notice that not only is the food informed by the local cultures and local ingredients, as well as Spanish food (a lot of Latin American food is just a local take on Spanish food), but there's also the influence from different immigrants. Asado contains Spanish ingredients (such as morcilla), but it isn't prepared in any Spanish-style ways. Locro isn't found anywhere in Spain. They're two different cuisines, even if they are directly connected by heritage.

[Anonymous No.13733670]

>>13733403
French here. Not spanish but I ought to answer this.

You have to understand that history/folklore is important in old countries and it caused wars, influences, alliances and whatever you want to add all around Europe. This goes for France, Italy, Spain, England, Germany, etc.

I mean, America is only 250 years old aprox and I studied in a +500 year old university so obviously you just can't understand it
There are older buildings/relations in any european city than your country.

It seems like you're trying to disagree with something, but you're not sure what, so you'll just write up a bunch of stuff that sounds argumentative without really committing to anything.

Italian american food was influenced by locally available canned tomatoes that were hugely popular in the first wave of italian immigration to the US just like how cuban paella uses achiote instead of saffron because saffrno doesn't grow in the caribbean, or latam bacalao vizcaina uses tomatoes instead of pimiento rojo because who the fuck even knows why.

Nobody is arguing that locro is an authentic spanish food, you seem to be extending the argument to suggest that I claimed that all foods eaten between tierra del fuego and the rio grande are "spanish foods" just because most of those countries speak spanish language

[Anonymous No.13734394]

I'm from the south part of Brazil, work as demi chef in an Italian Restaurant in Tuscany and Spanish cuisine is one that hugely impacted our cuisine in the region. More than France or any other. The thing is that Spain is an underdog, it shaped international cuisine but in such a subtle way that no one knows the impact unless they dig about the subject, sadly.

Also that is the birthplace of the Adria family. I dream to one day work as a cook there, someone can give me some tips?

We live in bubbles there man, I live in a high security condo there that looks like an average American suburb, while I use to help kids on NGOs 2kms away that was rapped and abused by their parents. You can see the absurd that is life more clearly, I guess. So I after graduating in law school I said fuck it and went to Yurop to learn how to cook. Nowadays:
9a.m.: go to work, have an espresso, mise en place for the night.
14p.m.: have a few beers with the crew
15-18: run, bath, book (the internet sucks)
19p.m.: back to kitchen, keep the head down and work.
23p.m.: end shift, grab beer, sit outside and drink until 1a.m. with crew
>How much money do you make?
900€+room+food
>Live in a favella?
I've dated a chick that lived in Rio de Janeiro and been on that shithole more times than I can count. It is funny, because I felt safe there, the thieves are scared to death of robbing you there, cuz they will be burned alive by the drug dealers if they get caught, the drug dealers walk around with guns and don't fuck with you if you are not acting weird. The only thing that I hate is the mess and the heat that the whole city is, been to every major beach and place on there and never got mugged or bullied (I'm dark blonde hair with blue eyes).
>Dude how shitty is your life?
Average. Still shitty, got my problems, which I try to run away by travelling around and learning how to cook properly. One day will have my own place, but will need 10 years or more before calling me a chef. That's why I came to yurop, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, they all know their shit on how to cook, I want to learn from them to know how to build a Brazilian identity on cuisine one day (besides sopa de macaco).
