Spain is country with a mixed and complex heritage and Spanish cooking reflects this fact. While Spain is a Mediterranean country, and many Spanish dishes owe much to this, Spanish food also includes native foods imported into the country from Spain’s former colonies in the New World such as beans, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. Other Spanish dishes draw on the countries Jewish and Moorish heritage - it was worth remembering that much of Spain was ruled by the Moors for more than seven hundred years. Even the Reconquista (the Christian reconquest of the Iberian pennisula from Muslims) has left its traces in Spanish cuisine - pork is popular in Spanish food, and historically was a political statement of Christian identity because it was not eaten by Jews or Muslims.

I know a lot of it is not good for you. BUT what is up with it calling out your name and saying come buy me I am so good. I talking the arches, and I am talking the French fries. Every time I pass this place I want some and I immediately think how crispy and good they are. You don’t even need ketchup on them. What is up with that? Food does not talk to you. Is there anybody else that is experiencing this?
