calçot мне в рот*

On the last day of the season – we decided to try the renowned Catalan calçots – the grilled green onions! 🧅
First, we were given special bibs to avoid getting soiled. This was already far too complex for me… but well…
The food looked delicious.
The calcots were served on terra-cotta tiles.
They clearly had to teach us how to eat Catalan style.
🍅 The Pa Amb Tomàquet – tomato bread with garlic – comes first. You cover the bread with garlic and then with tomatoes. I managed to fail again… But well…
🥬 Then there was the artichoke – there wasn't much to consume.
🧅 Finally we y got to the calcots, which you peel by hand and dip in a special sauce before eating.
We were already kinda full but we received a meat plate after that.
And for dessert, I chose Crema catalana, which is very close to my favorite crème brûlée.
This all was absolutely worth the 35€ we paid for the Calçot menu.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
If you want to learn about Catalan culture, start with Calçotada!
*calçot мне в рот = “calçot mnie v rot” – literally means “calçot in my mouth”. It just rhymes in Russian in a funny (naughty) way.
