THE
FOOD IN SPAIN AND ENGLAND The
food is another very important difference between Spain and England.
In Spain we grow olives, oranges, lemons, pears, cucumbers,
peppers, corn, peas and all the other salad vegetables.
They also press the olives so that it creates olive oil. In
Madrid there is a variety of food such as: Perdiz
con Chocolate
Braised Partridge with chocolate Patatas
Bravas
Hot spicy potatoes with tomato sauce Cocido
Madrileno
Spanish stew Minestrone
de Ternera Lamb
Minestrone Tortilla
Espanola
Spanish Omelette Pescado
al pil pil
Fish with a Spice called Pil Pil Pisto
Pisto Minestrone
de Ternera Lamb Minestrone Cabrito
al ajillo
Goat
with Garlic Pollo
al Padre Pedro Chicken
of Father Peter Marisco
Sea
food Yemas
Yams Some
of the above dishes sound similar in English but are cooked differently.
In Spain the Spanish use lots of garlic, olive oil, peppers, meat
sausages etc., but the English don’t. However
English food is bland. It
is still very nice but different. Here
are some of the most typical English dishes: Irish
Stew, Egg, bacon, mushrooms, sausages and tomatoes, Sausages and mashed
potatoes, Roast dinner, Corn beef hash, Fish and chips, Pancakes, Lamb
casserole, Beef casserole, Christmas pudding, Steak and kidney,
pie/puddings, Mince Pie, Éclairs, Meat and Potato pies, Fruit Pies
English
food is delicious, but I have noticed that more and more people are
buying take away foods rather than cooking at home.
I have been brought up in a Spanish/English household in Spain.
My father is Spanish and my mother English.
I have noticed that the English citizens are very polite,
patient, well mannered and calm. The
Spanish on the other hand are from the Mediterranean.
The Spanish people I have noticed are very passionate, get angry
very easily and are always anxious. If
I was to put an Englishman and a Spaniard together in one room I would
realize that generally speaking the Englishman is taller than the
Spaniard, has light coloured skin, eyes and hair whereas the Spaniard is
much shorter than an average Englishman and has dark olive coloured
skin, hair and eyes. My
mum and dad in Spain have been happily married for 25 years perhaps
opposite poles attract each other.
