I've bought habitas in Mercadona before but they were more expensive than that - over 5 Euros. I’m confused.

Looking forward to lunch & they're all mine as my wife doesn't like them :) Thanks M. Bought the beans (€2 in Mercadona – ready shelled).

I'm very glad that you like this new section. I guess they were "Tomates Rellenos", however I've only seen this dish as a starter more that as a tapa. Maybe they used the same recipe with smaller tomatos;-) If you like we can do this tapa as a post shortly. Sorry Skip, I had missed your post.

I've been making a fresh broad bean salad based on one I sampled at a tapas bar here in Melbourne, Australia. (You can find photo and my recipe here: http://www.cookingdownunder.com/articles/2006/249.htm ) It's worth the double handling - podding the beans then taking the skins off after cooking. But what I really want to know is what has happened to the Cooking from Spain podcasts? There haven't been any for a couple of months and I did enjoy listening to them.

It is a very small place called "La Tasquita" in the corner of C/ Valderribas and C/ Juan de Urbieta. It might be difficult to get hold of a table there, so searching the Internet I've read that they are delicious in "La Castela" C/ Doctor Castelo, 22 (very near the top right corner of the Retiro park). Although I've been in this pretty old style tasca a couple of times I've never tasted their habitas. I’ve just emembered one of the places where we’ve had them.

Spanish cooking has been one of my quest... Tapa's in particular. So, look forward to some great tapas in the future! One of my favorites I had at a resturaunt outside my apt in Stockholm (Judging by the Big Spanish Guy behind the Bar, it was a very authenic spanish place - I think 8-) ?? ), anyway I had this tuna stuffed tomatoes... in a small ceramic dish. I've scoured the internet and tried a few similar recipe's but I've never been able to replicate that great dish. Cheers, -Skip Austin, TX Ben and Marina,

As soon as we remember a place I'll let you know, but if you keep your eyes open you'll soon find them them. Actually I think you can get them in Hylogui, which, although it isn't a tapas bar, is a great place for lunch anyway: http://tinyurl.com/2lo2kv As hard as we can think nowhere pops to mind just yet.
