Yeah, you gotta pay extra for the subtle wild animal designs. Good eye. We’re not scrimping a bit on this banquet!

Did anyone else notice the piece of lettuce on the left side of the plate for the ‘Ensalada con gulas templada’ kind of resembles a hobbling wolf? I realize this comment is slightly unrelated to the rest, but I wanted to be the first person in the history of Erik’s blog to write an 11th comment (although I could be wrong)…let’s see if we can get to a hundred.

Oh good. Now I won’t have to make so many choices. I think you did an excellent job of chronicling your afternoon. I especially like the photography. I’m intrigued by the item which was so good you forgot to take its picture. Can’t wait . . .

Doggy bags are a topic I've been meaning to write a Spain v USA post about. It should be an easy shot on goal for the yanks since Spain has never heard of the concept. They'd rather throw away high-class food. The only bag you're taking food away from the table in is at the end of your esophagus, I'm afraid.

I love the idea of 5 appetizers, served one after the other, and the Merluza rellena de txangurro (hake) sounds great. I am a little concerned, though, that I might have to bring a baggy for that sirloin and bring it home for the dogs, or I’ll never have room for the sorbet and cake.

Okay. Things have been cleared up. I was thinking in American again. Update posted above.

Welcome, Marga!

I’m confused about how the starters are served, then. Will it be like how we had them (plates in the middle of the table and everyone had an empty plate on which to serve themselves) or like in some restaurants where you order a starter and they put the one you ordered in front of you?

Ah! The same is valid for the main course. We get two! (I can not say for the price of one…)

Erik, dear..

Accepting your proposition about replying on your blog instead of privately at home…

On the 13th, you won´t have to choose between the starters, and neither will have to choose the rest of people attending. You have already chosen 5 of them. The rest of the guests will be getting the same 5.
