Amy has a love of Spanish food, having visited there, and she chose a classic, but simple Spanish meal… easily prepared, and what is better, easily eaten and finger food-like for fun, or a picnic, or a quick meal between romantic sessions in bed!!
Romantic meal; something simple – olives, good cheeses, some iberico ham, crusty bread, blackberries, some really good dark chocolate and a bottle of really good red wine.
Try and find an international style market or shopping market or specialty store, and see if they have Spanish serrano ham. It is kind of like the Italian prosciutto, but even better. It is not cheap, and it has a very smoky taste, so it might not be to everyone’s liking, but Gigi loves it and gets it now and then from Papa Joe’s in Birmingham, near where she lives. It is an amazing supermarket, with a huge selection of products from all over the world, and in a very European fashion, it has food all over the store that you can taste for free… Gigi has made many a quick meal there by simply walking around the store. They have the most delicious bread and soups, and precooked amazing meals…. mmmm getting hungry!! I think it is time for a quick visit…
