"basically the liquid from the pot that they served up in a little espresso cup right as you sat down."

That's "caldo de feijão" (roughly "black bean soup") also served in bars, in mugs, with pork rinds around. Hangover killer.

Very good write-up, nice to see feijoada here. Unsung dish, I think, and my favourite.

The greens are kale. Recipe changes a bit in every region, but I think no one adds tomato to the stew. In the southeast, no cilantro goes in there either, but that's more popular in the North, so maybe, yes. Some places will serve it with plain toasted manioc flour, also delicious.

I am very curious about new dishes I can discover here, so I don't miss much. But what I always have to have, whenever I go back, is Feijoada. A heavy but divine black beans and pork stew, served with rice, farofa (fried flour with onions), kale, oranges, two kinds of spicy sauce and, yes, caipirinhas.

Broccoli is the anchovy of vegetables? Best thing on earth, then?

Answer is: clove. Best way to ruin food, use too much of it. Or, sometimes, any of it.

They are ridiculously expensive here in Spain also... but worth it.

I love it, especially when it's fresh out of the butcher. They serve it from stalls in a market in my hometown (Belo Horizonte, Brasil) fried with a bitter vegetable called jiló and thinly sliced onions. It's heavenly.

But if you talked about eating it for breakfast there, people would think you are insane, drunk or both.

The classic quickie will involve anchovies, tomatoes, canned tuna, olive oil and some spiciness from whatever I have at hand.

So many. Potatoes with rosemary and chilli, drizzled (drowned?) with olive oil and baked.

I live in Spain and nonetheless want to go.
If they have "mojama", try it, it's my latest addiction. It's tuna-ham...
By the way, It´s pata negra indeed. Also, "piquillo".

An egg that cooked itself in a hole in the middle of the pizza, and there was also wasabi on it, believe me! In Slovenia.

Please, please, no Hulu...

Reminds me of my favourite corean in Sao Paulo, Ga Na Da Ra.
So far my (few) tries for corean food in Barcelona were not successful.
