Saturday Guntash and Paula organized a group of about 80 of us out to the countryside to have a light breakfast of wine and cheese, check out the ancient town of Montblanc, enjoy the Calçotada (green onion) feast and maybe have a little more rojo. From Wikipedia:
"The most traditional way of eating calçots is in a calçotada (plural: calçotades), a popular gastronomical event held between the end of winter and March or April, where calçots are consumed massively.
Calçots are then barbecued and dipped in salvitxada or romesco sauce, and accompanied by red wine or cava. Pieces of meat and bread slices are roasted in the charcoal after cooking the calçots."
The salvitxada sauce was ridiculously good, and required eating with not only Calçotadas, but also all available breads, meats, cheeses, and anything else that could be inserted in it and consumed. Will have to try to reproduct it. Too much fun with the usual clowns.
