Today’s guest post comes from an incoming 7th grader, Isabela. I’m very impressed with her adventurous eating in Spain, and I think you will be too!

This summer from the 28th of June to the 30th of July me and my family went to Spain. In Spain we saw and tried many new things, but one thing I really loved was trying all the new food. We tried Yemas, Kinder Buenos, Albondigas, Tortilla Española, and Paella– these are just the beginning too. 
Let me start off by talking about Yemas. Yemas are a pastry using just the yolk of an egg, cinnamon, syrup, and lemon juice. They give you a very full sort of feeling. I liked them, my sister loved them, and the rest of us didn’t really like them. They tasted very good, but to us it’s a texture problem; they are just a weird texture in your mouth. The town where we got them carried them everywhere so they loved them.
We also tried the Spanish dish Paella (pie-a-ya). The one we tried was a combination of yellow rice, chicken, rabbit, peppers, tomatoes, and more. I enjoyed it very much; it is delicious. You must be saying “rabbit? Ewww.” And don’t worry I said that too, but I forced myself to try it and it tastes just like chicken. All of us liked Paella.
We tried Albondigas and those were delicious. They are meatballs in a pepper sauce that is a little spicy. I would have both these dishes again if or when I have the chance.
When you think of a tortilla you think of thin flat bread, right? Well, in Spain, they think of tortilla Española which is a salty potato and egg omelette. This is like an appetizer that you can have for any meal of the day. We had this toward the middle of the trip and never left a grocery store without buying it for the rest of the trip.
One of the traditional desserts or snack in Spain is Churros y Chocolate. Churros are fried dough dipped in sugar. Then, you dip the churro in a thick, rich, creamy chocolate drink. It’s like a real thick cup of hot chocolate. Yum!
There is one last product I would like to tell you about and this is like their candy bar. It is called a Kinder Bueno and it is very good. It tastes like chocolate and white chocolate Nutella.
From my experiences in Spain I have learned to try everything because you never know what you might like. I hope that you try new things too.

You’re making me hungry!!!! Can you describe the weird texture the Yemas left in your mouth?
The food sounds very interesting, and I would love to try it! The churros and the candy bar sound very good!
You described the foods so well and I am getting hungry with how well you described them especially the churros look good.
Yum! You have found so many of my favorites from when I lived in Spain. Tortilla espanola on a sub roll is the best! So glad you had a great experience!
I would like to try the foods someday. I think I like the meatballs and the egg omelette.
Wow the food in Spain is so different then the food we eat here. I never thought about eating rabbit!
The food that you listed sounded very good and different. I would love to try some of those scrumptious meals!
What I liked about this article is that I really understood the article. I enjoyed all the different types of food that got mentioned. I also like how the types of food were explained. My favorite of the foods were albondigas.
Your trip sounds amazing. I happen to love Spanish food so the food sounds incredible!
I think that its weird to eat rabbit but i have tried it and it is very good. what are the black things on the pallea?
I think your trip to Spain sounds fun. You have describe the food very well. Now, I am getting hungry. My favorite of the food was Churros y Chocolate. It sounds so yummy.
When I read those words my mouth started to water except when I heard you ate rabbit. I wanted to go to spain but now I realy want to go!
The way you described the foods was amazing. I especially enjoyed the paella section. I enjoyed that part the most b/c my dad cooks the same dish, although he doesn’t add the rabbit part. I found it interesting that interesting that in Spain they add rabbit. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Yummy! Those foods sound delicious, especially the churro. I would like to try rabbit actually! Your experience was very interesting.
It sounds like you had a good time and tried lots of new foods. I tend to stick to basic American foods like hot dogs and pizza. I know I couldn’t of tried that many new foods, but if I had to try one it would be Churros y Chocolate.
I love trying new foods!
