"Spanish" food and the Luftwaffe

So, on my lunch break I decided to try a food truck called Barcelona on the Go. To my disappointment, the day's menu had more Mexican/Tex-Mex food than stuff from the European motherland. However, that didn't stop them from pretending to be authentic. They had Spanish-related decoration all over the truck, including a rather large photo of Picasso's Guernica. 'Cause when I think of a country's cuisine, I also like to think about wartime atrocities that happened in that country.

When I have sushi, I want to think of Tokyo burning to the ground. When I have a hot dog, I want to think of Wounded Knee. When I have... whatever passes for food in the UK, I want to think of the Blitz. Appetizing.

 

How was the food?

 

The firebombed steak quesadilla was pretty good.

 

I would love to have this type of lunch issue at work.


Los Angeles Lakers: Drama, guaranteed.

 

I used to have a poster of the Guernica over my bed. After awhile, it occurred to me there are probably better things to hang over my head while I try to sleep.

 

The UK actually has some pretty decent food if you have a taste for fried things.

 

If I ever have fast food in wartime Germany, I will want to think about blitzkrieg. Because it's lightning war fare.

These fish and chips are wrapped in the obituaries of those brave RAF pilots who died so that you could savor the flavor of freedom!

 

Tapas!

 

Not with Heinz sauce they're not.

(also savour / flavour)

 

Eating from a food truck could cause a blitzkrieg of sorts.

 

Happens nine times out of ten, from my experience. And yeah, a place called "Barcelona On The Go" that offers a mostly TexMex menu sounds like an uber fail to me.

 

There's a Spanish restaurant called Tapas Rias that charged us $30 for two servings of Paella. I will never forgive Daveed.

 

Tapass

 

Was it any good? I'm yet to see any non-Spanish paella worthy of the name (although I hear some good things about Australian paellas).

 

Followed by My Lai Menudo and a glass of Grape of Nanking Lambrusco.

 

This gives McDonald's a great idea on how to redecorate their Vietnam locations.

 

Golden arches of napalm?

 

Decent food in the UK? Either a French restaurant or a dish known locally as "Curry". Those are the only possibilities.

 

spanish luftwaffles are pretty good but you have to watch out for the green spots.
