This
time of the year is all about the orange harvest in Seville and all around
Andalucia. To commemorate and celebrate this event the town decided to have a
contest between the bars and restaurants and offer a new variety of tapas. The
rules were easy: offer a tapa for a set price of 4Euros and in this include a
drink and a plate of food which has orange as an ingredient in it.
About
30 different restaurants participated and the list of them was available on
the town’s website. They even put a set price on it so a plate of food with a
drink costs 4 Euros even in the more expensive places. So for 4 Euros you get
food with a glass of vino, I think it’s a great value.
I
was very keen to exploit this opportunity to its fullest and try as many dishes
as I could during the two weeks of the festival and I dragged Paul and some
other friends around with me, too. We personally think it’s a great idea as we
ventured into streets and bars we otherwise would not have done. It also
produces a variety of new dishes and as we’re always on the quest to try new
tapas the even suited us perfectly. The only downside was that the plates were
pretty big and we could only have maximum two tapas per occasion!! Life is full
of hardships, I’m telling ya!
Get
ready for some serious drooling in tomorrow’s blog!
