Incidentally, “Most Catalan dishes are, of course, regional variations of Spanish cuisine, with an emphasis on Catalan versions of typical Spanish produce, plus a few local specialities and occasional foreign influences.” sounds a mite disingenuous. Obviously, roast lamb is something that is eaten all over the place. But bread with tomato ain’t eaten in Castilla. And migas ain’t eaten here. He doesn’t go into much detail but which ‘Catalan’ food do you suppose he’s talking about? Surely Catalan cuisine is all about the ‘local specialities’?
