So the potato(e) appetizers... would those be "tapas fritas"? heh! I never have made it to Spain, although I have spent so much time in Mexico at least I could do some remedial communication. I did have cafe con leche in Mexico, but it was steamed milk with Nescafe! Now the menudo...

Or las tapas de papas or something. This was my first trip to Spain, and I have to say I ate much better there than I did in Paris, contrary to expectation. I love Mexican food, but the coffee there was perhaps my greatest disappointment. Why can't they get with the program on that one? It seems like such a cultural mis-match. Of course, the solution for most iffy food in Mexico is to smotherm it with cilantro and lime juice. Maybe I should have tried that with the coffee -- it actually works pretty well on Chicken Noodle Soup from a can, even back home.
