Madrid, May 5, 2010—
ALWAYS THE SAME, I told the desk clerk when she asked how dinner had been, And always good. She'd made a reservation for us at one of the Oldest Restaurants in the World, Botin, opened in 1725, when J.S. Bach was forty years old.
We had:
Sopa de ajo con huevo: Garlic and bread soup (in pork broth) with a quail egg
Pimientos con bacalao: Sweet red peppers with salt cod
Cochinillo asado: Roast suckling pig
Biscuit con higos y nueces: Nougat glacé with dried figs and walnuts
Piña al caramelo: Pineapple ring in caramel sauce
