It is "PA AMB TOMí€QUET” or "PA AMB TOMATA". In Catalan: "pa" = bread, "amb" = with, "tomí quet" or "tomata" = tomato. Indeed, it is not "pantumaca”. It is "PA AMB TOMí€QUET” or “PA AMB TOMATA”.

Is the same meal but pantumaca is the wrong name writted for the people who don't know how to write this catalan name. But the taste is the same, DELICIOUS. NOTE:

When we are staying in spain, at the place a friend rents, the housekeeper (ascensión) makes a lovely gazpacho, now i know its too early in the year over there for this, but i hope someday soon you will show us a definitive recipe because there are so many. The next time i see her i will remember to learn hers, its a touch more picante, compared to many i have tried. Anyway well done and suerte! 7. lee Says: March 25th, 2006 at 1:10 am oh PS……. there was a lovely bean caserole dish as well!! And the guy above is right you do have a lovely voice. 8. Jose Leandro Says: March 25th, 2006 at 3:58 pm Hi Marina, First let me ask, will Cuisine from Spain also be about restaurants in Spain or is it strictly about recipes? I heard of a restaurant where the paella is supposed to be the absolute most authentic and the absolute best. It's called El Matandero and it is located in La Albufera about 15 minutes from Valencia. The owner has been making paellas everyday for over 60 years! He is insistent in being authentic, down to the specific wood he uses in his grills, which come from trees he grows himself. I heard about it through a travel documentary on TV that covered Valencia in one episode. Perhaps you could investigate El Matandero if you find yourself in the Valencia area. Thanks, 9. Marina Says: March 25th, 2006 at 6:16 pm Lee, Where abouts is this house? Gazpacho is one of my favourite things, but you are right, is still to early in the year for that, as you need very ripe tomatos and the weather is still chilly. When the moment comes there will surely be a podcast about it!!! I think the caserole might be "Fabada”, typical from Asturias it has white beans called "Fabes”, chorizo, morcilla, ham… You can check a picture of the one we ate in our recent trip to Asturias clicking in: http://www.notesfromspain.com/243/ 10. Marina Says: March 25th, 2006 at 6:43 pm Hola Jose Leandro, We will cover anything food related. So yes, there will be podcasts from restaurants or tapas bars. It is possible we will be soon going to Valencia, and Ben is really interested in visiting the Albufera area, so there are good chances that we can podcast from that restaurant. Have you got more details? cause I didn't find it on Google. 11. lee Says: March 30th, 2006 at 9:34 pm hola the house is called la musclera near Tamariu on the costa brava, its actually quite famous, certain well known and notorious people have stayed there in the past including Al Gore, Winston Churchill, and that guy Blanco who ETA put into orbit back in the 70's. It seems my friend may well be renting it for August so it looks like a trip must be planned. 12. Marina Says: March 31st, 2006 at 3:02 pm Lucky you!!! The Costa Brava is beautiful and from what I've seen so far, is the best kept portion of the Mediterranean sea in Spain (It reminded me of the Greek Islands, which are like a dream). We will be going very near Tamariu in June for a wedding. My friend that is getting married gave me a list of good restaurants that I have listed in the foro.
