Perhaps a breakfast podcast focusing on ensaimadas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensaimada) might be interesting.

Oh man. Ensaimadas. You just made my mouth water. I still prefer my napolitanas tho.

Valencia, of course. There's this little horno around the corner from where my mother-in-law lives. :)

The name comes from the Arabic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic) word "saďm", which means pork lard.

Would it be possible to make ensaimadas without pork lard? With butter, for instance?

Perhaps Edith is not a "meatitarian."

No, I am, but I don't eat too many pork products, just jamón ibérico once in a while.

Probably an excellent practice. It's hilarious, because the pork farmers here have had a marketing/advertising scheme for pork, billing it as "The other white meat." I haven't figured out what exactly they're trying to say, unless they're implying that pork is actually good for you.

In small doses, though, I like pork. Especially in embutidos and bacon. :D
