Hello and welcome to a new episode of Coffee Break Spanish To Go!
Today we're going to talk about food,
and the question is:
If you had to recommend a traditional dish from your country, what would it be?
Now let's hear people's answers!
[Try to listen to the answers first time through without subtitles.]
I'm starving!
Now let's look to the answers in more detail.
Cocido (meat stew), or tortilla (Spanish omelette).
If I had to recommend a traditional dish, I think I would say paella (rice and seafood dish)
because I'm a big fan of rice and the truth is I really like it.
I would recommend cochinita pibil (roasted suckling pig) because it's something that is really different
and it tastes delicious.
In Mexico.
In Mexico, it's worth mentioning, yes!
And in Spain, well, tortilla (Spanish omelette).
Well, I'm from Italy, so the traditional dish from my country, the best, the most well-known, has to be pasta.
And if you're going to eat a good pasta carbonara, it's with eggs and ham.
It's perfect. You can choose a very nice pizza too, but I prefer pasta.
And good wine, of course, when you eat.
Well, it depends on the time of year,
But if it's summer, for example, gazpacho (chilled soup). If it's winter, fabada (bean stew), cocido (meat stew)...
Paella.
I'm German and, for me, it's a traditional dish from Germany: Weißwurst, which are white sausages.
And you eat it for breakfast with Brezel (pretzel) which is also a German food.
Everyone knows paella, but we have other traditional dishes like, for example, pulpo a la gallega (octopus),
a good salmorejo (chilled tomato and bread soup), a good cocido (meat stew) from Madrid.
There are different dishes which aren't as well-known abroad which need to be recommended!
And now it's your turn!
I have a question for you:
If you had to recommend a traditional dish from your country, what would it be?
Good work!
