Supermarkets
This was by far the best alternative if you're sick of rocking the pintxo/tapas night and day. We roamed the markets and the phenomenal upscale supermarket Don Serapio did it's trick.
Highlights included:
- Doughnut Peach - sugary sweet and ridiculous juicy. The best peach I've ever had
- Jamon Iberico Recebo - chewy at first that somehow ends up melting in your mouth. The funk is what makes this thing amazing. Kinda like a blue cheese type funk with huge pork flavor. I totally dug it although it was crazy expensive - about 79 euros per kg.
- Collar Bellota - basically the best chorizo I've ever had. Incredibly flavorful and ridiculously tender.
- Mousse pato al oporto - chicken liver mousse with port. Creamy and huge flavors with the sweet port and rich chicken livers.
- Bread - great flavor, crisp crust, and perfect chewy on the inside. All for 1 euro!
Chinese Food
Ok, I know this sounds ridiculous but we wanted to rock the Chinese food for lunch. Again, we were all tuna/mayo/fake crab'd out, so we decided to check this Chinese joint out - there's a ton in San Sebastian. Food was definitely more of the stuff you get in the burbs, heavy on the corn starch thick sauce with a Spanish twist - everything was overly vinegary. Still satisfying to have some tea and white rice.
McDonald's
I know eating at McDonald's in Spain sounds ridiculous, but we were at the airport flying back to JFK. I was thinking of rolling pintxo's / tapa one last time, but I couldn't do it. So, we settled on good ol' McDonald's and the McDonald's Cafe Menu. Never seen the CBO (chicken, bacon, and onion) before, but it was delicious and I had songs of Born In the USA going through my head. Is McDonald's a curse or a dream to the world? On that day, it was a dream, but on most it's usually a curse...
