Here are the answers. For the record, I've never tasted any of these dishes or eaten in any of these restaurants, so I have no idea as to what they actually taste like. Congrats to those of you spotted the fake dishes right away. :) 1. Skate wing (a type of fish) with pig trotters (pig’s feet) and tabouleh <em>[Sergi Arola Gastro Restaurante, Madrid]</em> 2. A “popcorn” made out of tomato water and olive oil <em>[Experimiental dish by a Spanish chef featured in a video on "Worlds of Flavor Spain" (www.worldsofflavorspain.com) web site.]</em> 3. Manchego Cheese ice cream <em>[Mentioned on "Worlds of Flavor Spain" web site.]</em> 4. Cow stomach lining and cow intestines with garlic <em>[Dish called <strong>"Callos a la madrilena"</strong>, popular among Latin American immigrants living in Madrid. Spain reportedly has to import 10 times as much tripe as it can produce to meet the demand.]</em> 5. Bacalao butterscotch cookies [<strong>FICTION.</strong><em> Made this one up.]</em> 6. Dried octopus chips in soup <em>[Restaurante Martín Berasategui, Gipuzkoa, Spain.]</em> 7. Vegetables with jelly <em>[Restaurante Martín Berasategui]</em> 8. Peanut butter and jamón serrano bocadillo [<strong>FICTION</strong>.<em> Can you imagine? A peanut butter and ham sandwich?</em>GROSS!!] 9. Scallops in coffee cream, cinnamon and curry <em>[Martín Berasategui, once again.]</em> After reading this list, anyone suffering indigestion yet? :) ¡Gracias a todos por comentar! ¡Hola chicos!

She thought it would have to be #8 as there was no peanut butter in her Spanish cuisine when she had moved to Germany (!) 21 years ago. But with all that fusion food on the market... Eleena, can you tell us the number of how many are not part of the Spanish cuisine! I talked to a Spaniard yesterday evening and showed her the list.

Granted, I'm a purist, and enjoy my wine wine, or mosto (grape juice), with a hunk of bread, rather than in a frightening science experiment gone wrong. But hey, that's just me ;-) As for which of these don't exist on the Spanish market? Honestly, I'm quaking in my boots imagining some of these in existence, but if I would have to guess, I'd say: 1,2,5, 7, 8, 9. First off, the wine-bread sounds rather frightening to me.
