Stale bread never tasted so good 🤤

Took a local recommendation and had lunch at La Miguería in the centre of Zaragoza. Opted for the lunch special which was a choice of stater, main and dessert with bread and a glass of wine for €12.90 (mainly because it involved less options to google translate the full menu). Using google translate I ordered a migas con chorizo, carrillera de iberico and a flan to finish it off. The migas is a dish made from ‘stale bread’, but don’t let that name put you off - it was the best stale bread I’ve eaten. Mixed in with chorizo it was delicious and warm.

The main was a cheek of beef, slow cooked to perfection so it just melted away in my mouth. The tasty (this time fresh) bread to mop up all the sauce 👌. The flan was sweet and a lovely ending. Washing it all down with a glass of wine with my lunch. For a non drinker I’m pretty much onboard with the Spanish drinking culture now - no wonder they have siestas after lunch! Speaking of which, it’s too hot outside now and most things are closed till the late afternoon so I might take a siesta myself.Read more
