Spanish food is some of the most well loved in Europe. Its collection of dried and cured meats, from chorizo and Serrano ham, to morcilla and salami, are considered second to none. And nothing beats tapas: piquillo peppers, stuffed with tuna, lamb, squid or salmon; paella, with chicken, vegetables or seafood. Topped with a good bottle of Spanish wine and some olives, Spanish cuisine is full of variety, and is both sweet and succulent, with a plethora of flavours.
That spectrum of tastes lends itself perfectly to Christmas time, when everybody gets together and relishes in a joyous love of food. A culinary delight for vegetarians and fish and meat lovers, the combination of vegetarian tapas and meats is well complimented by Mediterranean delights such as artichokes, porcini mushrooms, Berberechos and artichokes.
