Don't try Spanish food.

Okay so I am just going to vent in this post so if you don’t want to hear me complain don’t read this. DIOS MIO! I can not stand the food here. At first I didn’t think it was bad since I went out to tapas a lot but since I have been eating a lot at home I have begun to hate all the food here. My señora has three stable ingredients: salt, olive oil, and mayo. First off I do not like salt on any of my food and my mom never uses it unless necessary when she cooks. Second of all I am not a big fan of mayo either. I will have it once in a while on a sandwich but not with every meal. Third of all I do not want to gain any weight while on this trip but it is so hard when the only food your señora gives you is full of fat and carbs. I am not a picky eater but I have a hard time eating this food more than once a day. I guess I had high expectations for Spanish cuisine since it is European but I do not like what I have had so far. Even when we go out to tapas; I like the tapas but a lot of it is white bread and potatoes and ham. I am trying to branch out and eat more ham but it is just not my thing at all. I don’t know I am so excited for real food when I get back. I miss my salads and my fruit and my yogurt. I miss my mom’s delicious entrées. Well I will just have to grin and bear it or just tell my señora I don’t need lunch and starve myself.
