Food
Most restaurants in Madrid have a set menú
del día, which is usually a good way to sample many different
types of food, as well as being a good bargain. It will generally
include an appetizer, bread, a main dish, dessert, and coffee or
tea, and is generally only served at lunchtime.
A popular dish in Madrid is anything with pork;
especially jamón serrano which is a leg of ham cured and
then hung out to dry in the store window. Bacon, longanissa, and
chorizo are also consumed in quite heavy numbers as well.
If you have never been to Madrid, or Spain for
that matter, you mustknow that the dining schedule is quite different
from most American's eating habits. Breakfast is around 9:30; lunch
at about 2:30-3 followed by a lengthy siesta, and finally dinner
no earlier than 9p.m.
