In Holland, we have a saying: 'what the farmer doesn't know, he doesn't like' (wat de boer niet kent, dat lust 'ie niet). ;-) :D @ Tom

I really like broth! I thought that Britons also ate chicken broth when they had a cold for instance, as many people do, but maybe I got this wrong. You are right, Tom, I also think there are some open minded people in Spain when it comes to foreign gastronomy. I did not mean to generalise so much on this one.
