Why is it that when we travel foods we normally do not eat taste so much better?  While in Tarragona I tried several local and traditional foods. One day for lunch I enjoyed Andalusian Gazpacho and Paella. Back home I would never eat gazpacho, because it always seems to have green bell peppers in it and that is a food  I do not like.   The gazpacho in Tarragona was excellent!  I don’t know if it was made differently or because I was traveling in Spain everything tasted better.  At the conference we were treated to some Catalan foods. One evening we had grilled sardines with Fideu\u00e0, which is a vermicelli type of pasta that is cooked in fish stock (like paella).   At the reception that was Roman Amphitheater  we had an assortment of tapas which are very traditional; however they included  “sliders.”  In the U.S. this term refers to small beef burgers. These looked just like U.S. hamburgers, complete with ketchup and mustard.  There was also a black rice, which I learned is called Arr\u00f2s negre.<\/i>  The blackish color comes from the squid ink it is cooked in along with other fish and seasonings. It tasted good.<\/p>\n

The traditional Catalan cuisine is quite diverse, ranging from pork dishes to seafood.  This region produces pork products, wines, olive oil and so much more.<\/p>\n
