so we have returned from madrid, sated and in my case perhaps slightly overwhealmed by a surfeit of tinto. notable eatings from second half of our trip include pickled quail and sweetbreads at danxari, some percebes, chickpeas with squid and delicious foie in PX at unspecified bars. i have also identified an excellent reason to return: lampario was on the menu at a number of the mariscarias which we strolled past. given my fondness for eel it surely represents the next stage in my progression of spanish sea fruit.
