As it turns out, it tastes pretty good. If you're in Madrid, dubious, I'll tell you were to go to order a glass that will remove all your doubts... Slavito http://www.sitebits.com/2007/la_hora_de_horchata.html Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:30:00 EDT When you get tired of all the "typical" Spanish food, when you want small dishes (but... please, no more tapas!), when you want to try something eclectic yet vaguely Spanish-themed, you might want to consider eating at Bazaar on the southern fringes of Madrid's Chueca. Slavito http://www.sitebits.com/2006/bazaar_madrid_2006.html Mon, 04 Sep 2006 14:30:00 EDT I've already <a href="/2006/vips-madrid-breakfast.html">talked about</a> my abnormal interest in this very important meal and how those morning calories are hard to come by in Madrid. Well, given that nobody here eats much in the morning, you might as well do as the Madrileños do - that is, eat only <i>un poco</i>. But where?...

I adore it. I can't get enough of all that cocido, jamón serrano, chorizo and tortilla española, so whenever I am in Madrid I basically eat in advance. Madrid is a city where I can go to a sketchy diner, sit on a bar stool at the counter pretending to be a visiting American, take out a French novel from my pocket... and still get a hearty, delicious meal - for less than 10 euros! <br><br> But that doesn't help me solve the problem I encounter almost every morning. I'll tell you what does. Read on...
