Peanuts are OK, but peanut butter is repugnant.
Lots of times, if you order a beer, the bartender will give you a bowl full of peanuts and people pound them down.
But something happens when you mash peanuts, apparently, to make them taste like death.
Café con hielos.
Spaniards see this as a refreshing summer drink.
But if you put milk in it to make an iced coffee, it's a "guarrada".
Here, I've seen hamburgers with ham ontop of the patty.
I think this is a case of somebody learning just enough English to get the wrong idea.
How about a Jack Daniels and Fanta Limón?
That's about the closest thing you'll find to a Lynchburg Lemonade here.
I still haven't heard a Spaniard react to it.
The bartender doesn't react because he wants to sell you the drink.
People around you don't react because they think you're drinking ron con limón.
An Arnold Palmer (sweet tea and lemonade) would be extraterrestrial here.
Now, Spanish combinations can be pretty intense, too.
Eating eggs and bacon for breakfast here is unheard of.
But they eat pancakes for dessert at American restaurants.
I suppose it's kind of like fried chicken and waffles in Atlanta.
I've never seen it done, but I've heard of people drinking Gin and Coke here...
I must admit, I haven't tried it, so I can't knock it.
Calimoxo.
Red wine and Coke.
What?
Before I came here, the thought had never crossed my mind.
But it's actually pretty decent.
Spaniards say Bourbon is too sweet, and then they go and mix Scotch and Coke.
I wish people would start forming their own opinions rather than letting themselves be guided by the opinions of others.
