La Boqueria: empanadas
Local friends had recommended a Barcelona
breakfast: I should reach the market at opening time
around 10AM, grab a seat at one of the long wooden
bars, and order a full esmorzar de forquilla. I should
“absolutely try” a traditional “knife and fork” break-
fast, so named in honor of Catalan workmen who
once jumpstarted their day with a hearty tripe stew
or a platter of scrambled eggs with pork sobresada.
No coffee and pastries for the brave! That sounded
right up my alley.
