Eat in SPAIN Like A Local - Spanish omelette (Pincho de Tortilla Española)

[@nigeldawson5960]

That's a generous serving and filling. Keep these videos coming. Very enjoyable.

[@fatimaSM236]

Con cebolla para mí. 😊

[@isobelmatheson8036]

I love Spanish coffee. It's better than Italian, and in another league to UK!

[@diegodejuan4825]

Italians have a stronger coffee culture than us in Spain. Maybe they like their coffee strong but I enjoy their machiattos (café cortado in Spain). About UK I don't know, I haven't been there many times to judge or I just don't remember. Also Nordic countries have a strong coffee culture. Definitely, regular coffee in the US is horrible, mostly water :)

[@anthonyferris8912]

@isobelmatheson8036 Then again Spanish tea is rather sh1t.

[@Mistadobalina111]

Coffee in the UK is rancid. Especially the big chains, massive cup of water with a bit of milk.

[@anthonyferris8912]

@@Mistadobalina111 Then again, 36 years of lockdown in a Fascist dictatorship probably retatrted Spanish taste buds and blunted their access to far better global Cuisine.

With onion Stuart for me too. I totally agree that you can get many different qualities of tortilla. The small local cafe I used to eat in Lanzarote was run by an elderly Canarian lady who'd make her Tortilla fresh every weekday at round 11am. So if you went in between 12pm and 1pm you could get the most amazing fresh, hot and soft in the centre Tortilla to eat in their fresh hot baguette. Simple but rather tasty. The local Tesco supermarket here in the outskirts of London sell Tortilla from the fridge but it's a rather poor and expensive copy of the 'real' tortilla's eaten fresh in most of Spain.

[@Oatmeal_pdx]

My favorite breakfast in Spain is tostada con mantequilla y mermelada with a cup of coffee. Simple. Good. And tasty. You would think that would very simple but some cafes can be pretty good. I remember a small cafe in Granada a year ago that is run by an older lady. The butter and mermelada were extra good and the coffee was impressive.

[@BobbyB3rd]

Lol.. workers always give the what the hell is he doing look 😂

[@joeterra.t]

To be fair, most people would have a similar reaction.

[@mick_gonzo]

Always should have onions. Best tortilla I've had also contained sobrasada and was from Haiti Bar in Barcelona. Very nice.

[@HOMEAWAY-zt9lp]

After many years ordering coffee in Spain, I now ask for my milk (leche) boiling (hirviendo). Love walking into a bar and being met with the aroma of recently made tortilla.😊

[@Bindi728]

Decent price! Not bad for a good protein breakfast 🍳 x

[@stevenhombrados1530]

That’s a pinxo! Looks more like a meal!

[@davesaunders7080]

Normally make tortilla it with out onion but I like it both ways.

[@rivoendre]

Onion yes if it is caramelized first

[@jacquesblignaut7844]

Everything food needs onion.... except ice cream. I just love onion. LOL

[@bradcobb3418]

I have made tortilla always with onion with variable success, i also like them slightly undercooked and slightly runny inside.I find coffee in Andalucia generally very good and strong, dont like in glass and dont like "poligono bread". Mercadona make a very repectable onion tortilla which for mass catering isn't like a freshly made one but for 2.50€ for a whole (4 pinchitos) size is value and flavourful.

[@GregorioJimenez-l1u]

I have never tried Spanish tortilla, but would love it with onions

[@kennielsen3896]

Too funny...I made a tortilla last night, so I'd have some for breakfast. I heated it up in the microwave and sat down to watch KZbin, 1st video was yours. I ate my tortilla while watching you eat yours. Mine was 3 out of 5 and yours look 4 out of 5. I did use onion.

[@jacijoyce2685]

OMG! con cebolla cien por cien! Sin no me sabe a nada!

[@johncmordan]

The waiter was spying on you. lol

[@paulgooderham]

I love how you call it a serviette like in Canada.

[@jz4492]

As a gallego, definitely onion! I also like it ‘casera’ which has chorizo!! Yum!

[@leonorlopez7932]

Muy buenos días👍

[@Penros0]

Sin Cebolla was one of the first Spanish phrases I learned! - I'd prefer that meal with some ham or sausage.

[@richardhaughton4303]

Experiencing true Spanish food, great 👍

[@diegodejuan4825]

I think I prefer la tortilla de patatas with cebolla, but I don't really mind.

[@goldgeologist5320]

I prefer not to discriminate. I will take with or without onions. Mix it up and live boldly I say. However, never been a fan of runny eggs.

[@edl7454]

My Mom made it with bits of Ham and Chorizo along with the onions. It was a thing of beauty and I have yet to taste one as good in the US or Spain.

[@joeterra.t]

The runny eggs are a deal breaker for me as well.

[@kevtheargonut]

Too bland for me but then again I have only had tourist versions which is basically an egg omelette with uncooked frozen chips in it. I did my own omelette for lunch for the two of us today. Onion, chorizo, mushrooms, cheese, tomato with two potatoes hand cut into chips, definitely left outside the omelette and baked in a little drizzle of olive oil. I am waiting for my Spanish neighbours to arrive with pitchforks. 😁

[@carmenfernandez5234]

Has anyone tried the tortillas at the upscale restaurant Las Tortillas de Gabino? It's in the Chamberi neighborhood in Madrid and they offer several different omelettes. I'd like to visit sometime when I'm traveling through MAD.

[@zanetaylor3540]

😂😂 That's a very light coffee compared to the triple shot black coffee I drink. Often have a Coffee in a glass HOWEVER.. the glasses are double walled so the glass on the outside is room temp and the Coffee inside is HOT or Cold. I drink mine ice cold. Exception is I drink my espressos hot. Definitely Onion and Garlic in the Tortilla, every time. I love these Vids!! 😎

[@coffermartin77]

Pinchos of tortilla can be hit and miss. If you're lucky, they've cooked it just when you get there but most pinchos of tortilla will be dry. You're best ordering a whole tortilla and sharing it with family and friends.

[@kevinpeters5125]

Not sure if you have tried La Tortilla en Cañadio Madrid... and also their Tarta de queso... both if which have won the best in Spain award

[@elenasmith1815]

I’ve never had tortilla español a without cebolla

[@agadoin]

Surely that’s a ración? The UK supermarkets do a version but I think they boil the potatoes rather than fry them so it’s no comparison to freshly made.

[@jeanettejones4940]

Onion for me as well.. Gives it the final touch 😊

[@melissasirois1508]

Would have it almost everyday when I lived in Burgos. It was only 2 euros for the pincho with coffee. Unbelievably cheap.My favorite was a paisana...not sure if spelling is correct but it had chorizo pieces and peppers. I make it sometimes here in Canada but the simple one with onions. Not bad but not as great as in Spain.

[@AncientMysteriesAndInnovations]

My dad is from Spain and he makes the firm tortillas, but I think the new style is runny

[@marcusjenkins]

With onion. Also good with peas. And a bit runny. Certainly not dry, like supermarket tortilla.

[@123seanaway]

Love these videos Stu..I was expecting €6ish so given it was industrial bread but a decent quantity of food and coffee, not bad. Grand if you're stuck but wouldn't be my go to place..

[@MariaFernandez-iv3gi]

Sin cebollistas....adelante y sin miedo jejeje😂😂😂

[@traciebushnell1425]

Stu when i lived there my favourite was a bocadillo de tortilla con boquerones so yummy ! Good portion you got there for your Euro lol

[@rmil4531]

You are certainly giving us variety, thank you. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of Spanish coffee… plenty great coffee shops in Australia, they are well represented at the world barista championships.😊

[@DagHennius]

Yes..In a glass!!!!

[@kevinpeters5125]

Buenos dias Stu Me da igual sin o con cebolla... pero el pincho que tomaste me parece un poco seco... When we make them we always put onion to have that caramelised taste.

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

wow and peace be upon you sir from me

[@karynwendt5754]

con cebolla, si!

[@paulfeeney1116]

Love your video

[@patriciaelms5340]

If my memory serves me your pincho looks more like a ración 😮

[@az_spain]

I'm glad we're on the same boat about the onion in tortilla :) However I was surprised you didn't ask for olive oil! I would have asked for the container and literally let it soak in. Then I am ceoliac so that's extra energy for me when on the move! If they are those horrible tiny olive oil containers, then I will ask for at least three, and if any questions asked, I'll pay for four gladly; but I always soak it extra virgin in olive oil ;)

[@joannewcomb]

Although I like onion, I don't like runny tortillas. All the ones I've tried in Madrid the last few years have been runny, maybe skipping the onions will increase the likelihood of my tortilla being firm??

[@michaelthatcher3825]

Love typical tortilla Stu but I always decline the bread as I can 1. Leave more space to devour the tortilla, and 2. I just don't think bread goes with it, starchy bread with starchy potatoes.

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

Horses for courses but for me no onion please lol

[@martindouglas9839]

Took a bullet for the team, il try it anyway 😊

[@steadybcn]

Do you think the quality of water in the locality will determine the taste of the coffee? So, how can we tell?

[@anacasanova7350]

La paella no lleva , no debe llevar cebolla😂

[@carolfarron6176]

Con cebolla siempre

The price of a MacDonalds Egg McMuffin stateside, without including anything to drink. I have never had an issue with the coffee in Spain , not real crazy about coffee in the states unless it is served in a high end restaurant for some reason.

decent price, it seems like a hig-end area by the port etc, so the price seems very reasonable, the "pincho" was probably 3€ right? not bad.

[@karenjohnson6667]

I’m really enjoying these videos about food, but I would love to see some in a traditional Spanish bar in Madrid. I’m not such a fan of the sterile cafeteria atmosphere.

Grew up with this in Sydney..mum made it fresh often.. Tabasco sauce is a great condiment to tortilla de patata..

No onions for me, unless they are really thoroughly cooked through. I am very sensitive to it cause of gastritis.

[@FlamencoOz]

Tortilla with onion 100%. And yeah, coffee is not good in Spain, reminds me of instant coffee (which is still a thing in Australia surprisingly).

[@joeparker3885]

Only a Brit will have coffee with tortilla.

[@davidtaylor-hg2bz]

Every tortilla should be runny in middle and onions❤

[@anthonyferris8912]

I’m not a fan of omelettes in general. If they’re soft and gently cooked I’ll eat them if they have a tasty filling, but otherwise I’ll pass. Without a runny yolk I find eggs generally tasteless. In Penang they do the runniest eggs on a light toast and with white pepper and a splash of soy sauce, they’re delicious.

[@goldgeologist5320]

@@anthonyferris8912 Would that not be a pouched egg with an Asian flavor twist? Sounds interesting. Has me thinking of it with chili oil.

[@anthonyferris8912]

@@goldgeologist5320 More a sort of very, very soft boiled eggs. They're put into a hot water and left to slowly cook in their shells and then cracked over the toasted bread. There are youtube videos of how it's done, but it's a bit of a faff, so I have them for breakfast when visiting Penang.

Definitely with ketchup

[@IronMetal]

"Cocina gallega - ESPECIALIDAD EN PULPO A LA GALLEGA" in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, I don't trust that place That coffee is dark not because it's strong, it's dark because it's "torrefacto", and strong too but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrefacto I hate that king of coffee, I prefer natural/normal coffee, as many people here in Spain. Torrefecto is more common in the south of Spain, it's bitter and tastes bad, I don't understand. You can also order natural coffee instead of roasted (torrefacto) coffee in almost all bars. If I want natural but they only have torrefacto I'd better look for another bar !IMPORTANT: spanish omelette doesn't need to reheat, NEVER needs to reheat. It's quite the opposite: you cook it, eat it afterwards or let it sit for an hour or even until the next day, and the next day is even better, like bolognese sauce, it needs to reseat (is that the correct word?) Para mí, la tortilla española (o tortilla de patatas, es lo mismo) perfecta es la que queda cremosa, no líquida, no cuajada, simplemente cremosa. Y con cebolla siempre. Esa tortilla que cuando la cortas suelta yema de huevo cremosa del interior, no chorrea huevo crudo (cosa que se ha puesto de moda en los últimos años y no entiendo por qué), y al día siguiente está más rica todavía porque se ha asentado durante toda la noche, y JAMÁS se recalienta una tortilla de patatas. De hecho para mí es un plato "frío" (del tiempo), está mucho más rica asentada y del tiempo que recién hecha o sobretodo recalentada en microondas. Un cero a ese restaurante por hacer esa guarrería
