ali kaye

I’ve known Ali & Kaye on Twitter for ages (and they have been real life best friends since 2011, though they live on opposite sides of the Iberian peninsula) so it was great to finally meet them both in person and take them out on a tapas tour. As they have both been to Sevilla before we decided to eat our way around Triana and it was a fabulous afternoon. Honestly these two are like a comedy team, funny AF and constantly playing off each other, and hey, they thought I was funny too! Always makes a nice change when people think I’m funny and not a cranky old cynic who hates everything and everyone (who me? 😇).

We even went into “overtime” going for a penúlitma after the tour was over and, since I was off the clock, so to speak, I finally felt able to swear properly again. Heck, by our final tapas tour stop we were already sharing pet photos and comparing scars à la Jaws (don’t ask, but I won!). I would have loved to spend more time with these two lovelies, so hopefully that will happen again before too long. Whenever people dis Twitter I always have many happy-making stories like this to counter all those cranky old cynics. 🙂

The last time I saw Arpy & Fred was back in July 2018 (!!!) in Málaga. So I was thrilled to find out they would be in Sevilla for a quick visit this week. We met up for a fabulous lunch at Barra Baja (with a pre-lunch sherry at Manolo Cateca) and caught up as well as one can catch up five years in less than five hours. Amazing food and even better company. What a great day.

pulpo (2)

Walking through Triana Market the other day this stopped me in my tracks and I was reminded about how, back in the spring of 2021, I found myself suddenly unable to eat octopus anymore, while I was actually eating octopus. I wrote about it here. Anyhow, here I was looking at this rather forlorn sight and wondering, once again, why this moves me so much more than seeing lamb heads, whole rabbits and game birds hanging up, as well as various body parts from all kinds of other animals on display at the market.

More than a year and a half later I still don’t want to eat octopus. And more than a year and a half later people still think it’s because of that creepy Netflix documentary. Whatevs.

chefs day 23

It’s International Chefs Day! 👩🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳 And so here are some fabulous #Sevilla chefs, many of whom I am happy to also count as friends, who have made my life delicious over the years. Today a chef asked me why there isn’t also a day for cooks, and so let’s include them too. A chef, indeed any bar or restaurant, is only as good as its team. Thanks for all your hard work everyone!
