Therefore, the people of Madrid are very good at cooking seafood, and the most representative one is grilled sea bream (besugo al horno).

Supplement: Introducing the three major Spanish special snacks: "Jamon" (raw ham), "Tortilla" (egg and potato pancakes (Tortilla De Patata)), and "Chorizo" (meat sausage). Among them "Harmon" is the most famous, and it can be said that it is famous all over the world. The so-called "Harmon" is a ham made from the hind legs of top-quality pigs that have been marinated and slowly dried for a long time in a special way. Good ham is rich in nutrients, the meat is purple and tender, and it tastes fragrant and delicious when cut into slices. It is an indispensable delicacy for all kinds of banquets and home meals. Everyone in Spain, regardless of gender, loves to eat raw ham in every restaurant and bar. , raw hams are sold in every department store and food store. There are various kinds of "hamon" in Spain, among which the "Habco" ham produced in Andalusia is the most famous and the most expensive, one kilogram. It can be sold for US$100. "Harmon" can be stored for a long time. No matter how the temperature changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, raw ham will always remain the same and will not deteriorate. Traditionally, various bars and restaurants use raw ham to decorate their appearance. First, they look rich. Secondly, it gives guests a sense of intimacy and intimacy, and arouses their appetite. I’m afraid I’m not used to Spanish “Harmon” for the first time, because it has a special taste, but after eating it a few times, I’m afraid. You will gradually like it, and even want to eat it all the time, so some people joke that Spanish "harmon" is like a drug, the more you eat it, the more addictive it becomes.

Raw ham can be exported in large quantities every year, mainly to European and American countries, earning Spain a large amount of foreign exchange. Supplement: Next, we will introduce "Torda". "Torda" is actually a kind of egg potato pancake. Although this seems to be a very common snack, it is very famous in Spain and is a long-standing traditional snack. This kind of potato pancake is sold both in ordinary bars and high-end luxury hotels. Common people like to eat it, and nobles also like to eat it. It is said that a long time ago, "Torda" was a food and local dish on the poor people's tables, and it was not suitable for the refined people. However, with the passage of time and social changes, "Torda" was gradually accepted by the world and slowly became popular throughout Spain. The preparation of "Torda" is very simple. Peel the cooked potatoes, cut them into small pieces, mix them with the mashed raw eggs, sprinkle a little salt, and then fry them on a pan with butter. Cook until golden brown appears. When frying, use a spatula constantly to prevent it from burning. Each potato pancake serves about 3 to 4 people. "Torda" is economical and nutritious. It can be used as both a non-staple food and a staple food, so it has been popular for a long time. The last of the three famous snacks is "Qiao Li Suo". "Qiao Li Suo" is a kind of meat sausage, mostly beef sausage. Each region in Spain has its own flavor of "chorizo", and there are many varieties, no fewer than dozens, each with its own merits and characteristics. Most of these "chorisos" are made by air-drying, but there are also raw meat sausages made directly from raw minced meat. There are also different ways to eat it. It can be boiled, steamed, baked or fried, but most of them are eaten cold. Speaking of raw meat sausage, it is Spain’s “unique”. Designed for picnics and barbecues, it tastes particularly delicious and unforgettable. If you set up a stove to barbecue in the wild, you will definitely be able to smell the aroma from a hundred meters away; and experienced Spaniards will be able to identify which kind of "chorizo" it is based on the aroma. The Spaniards love ham as much as they love raw ham, and it is almost impossible to live without it on the dining table. People who pay attention to food will identify one or several kinds of "choriso" throughout the year and buy them in a certain area or a specialty store, thinking that only in this way can they eat the authentic flavor. Follow-up question: Thank you, I don’t need to introduce so much about food...I just focus on funding and visas. Answer: The eating habits of Spaniards are the same as those of Orientals, with three meals a day, but their eating structure and time are quite different. Breakfast time is usually at 8 o'clock in the morning, but many people don't eat until 9 o'clock. This is mainly determined based on working hours. Most people who have a family and a career eat breakfast at home, especially those who have a housewife or nanny to look after them. Singles and people living alone often go out to eat at roadside bars. The breakfast content is roughly: milk, bread, butter, cheese, juice, coffee, etc. If it is a more substantial breakfast, it will only add some sausages, ham slices, pancakes, eggs, etc. For breakfast, Spaniards prefer oatmeal, cornstarch, corn flakes, mixed with fresh milk, stirred into gruel, and eaten with bread, which is both economical and nutritious.
