@pianista - I've done really similiar stuff with other fruit, under ripe peaches and mangoes work really well, pretty much anything that is a tiny bit bitter and has some crunch to it will be tasty in the goodness that is fish sauce, lime and sugar.
Thanks so much for the help. Ive already read a bit about Las Ramblas which looks absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely check out all the places mentioned. Thanks for the advice about pickpockets Ive also heard quite a few stories and will be sure to be careful, I grew up in Asia so I should be pretty well versed in that regard.
I'm going to be in Rome and then Barcelona for spring break for the first time and I was hoping I could get some pointers on where to head for some excellent food. I will be on a student's budget so I'm not looking for the expensive restaurants—more just good honest food that represents where I'm visiting. Any advice would be much appreciated, and if anyone knows of anything must-see that I won't find in a travel guide I'd love to hear about that too. Thanks!

Yes, this series really is fantastic, highlighting the importance of engaged producers of food. All of the people covered in the series come off as such honest and good people with an real understanding of life's priorities. Showcasing these producers has guilt tripped me (in a good way) in to making an effort to shop and consume food in an more ethical manner, getting to know more about my food and the people that get it to me.
I also feel that is a love story of one man and his red hoodie, traveling across the USA..
