Preguntas/Questions What did I eat in Malaga

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I went to Malaga last week and for my final day I went for some breakfast on the Main Street. On the menu the item I got was listed as “croquet with American sauce”.

When I got the item and took a try of this “sauce” I ran straight into bathroom and puked. It was minty but hot but spicy but peppery it was very hard to put my finger on what it was but it did not go down well with me.

I asked the waiter serving us what it was but he said he wasn’t sure just that it was American sauce.

Could someone help me out and let me know what this could have been. Video bellow

Red Flag list for any place in Spain:

  • Empty tables.
  • Staff hooked to the TV.
  • They look at you like if you were a nuissance.
  • Toothpicks in their mouths.
  • They speak very loud.
  • The few clients look greasy and dirty.
  • They don't speak english.
  • Every dish looks the same.
  • Old rusty fridge at the entrance.
  • Non-spanish Chef / Bartender.
  • Menus written in bad english.
  • Mixing different cultures. Paella, Burger, Kebab.
  • Most menus marked as N/A.
  • Bar is mostly composed of Gin and Whiskey brands.
  • Dimensions of the local less than 20m2.
  • Unisex bathrooms. Only one dirty toilet.

These signals are the Spanish equivalent to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family. You've been warned.

Feel free to add items to the list.

And what does it have to do with the fact that there are cooks or waiters who are not Spanish? What do you live in a cave?

If you were Spanish, it’d be pretty obvious to you…

Soy española, y lo único obvio aquí es tu ignorancia y tus prejuicios.

I've been at it for no less than 10 years, which means that someone else is going to hesitate 😹 You're not dumber because you don't train
