I do believe I may have eaten them in a big messy Spanish rice mix but they were unrecognisable.<BR/><BR/>I almost wept over the blood sausage ... because it was tasty, and because I liked it in spite of that.<BR/><BR/>I want to live in Spain ... I came away from the country certain sure.<BR/><BR/>Glad you had a nice time. I realised I was reading your comments on Sal's site but not your blog ... a big 'Doh!' from DiDi Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-66920095392178363752007-03-14T16:44:00.000-04:002007-03-14T16:44:00.000-04:00TMS - They are basically pork/bacon-like.

When I wear white, I'm often mistaken for Rosie O'Donnell.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a very nice, complimentary write-up. <BR/><BR/>And what a relief! Now, I *know* that I made the right decision by comissioning McKinsey Consulting to prepare that study on "Best Madrid Tapas Bars from the Finnish Perspective."<BR/><BR/>Hope we can do it again sometime, somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Your friend,<BR/>SalSal DeTragliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655836982289589022noreply@blogger.com
