Comida

Ok, so as promised, here's the list of food that you really can't get by in Spain without eating.. Well they're foods that I have extremely often and some foods with essentially every meal. Not too sure about the other Americans though.

• Rice
• Chicken
• Cheese: all kinds. At Aleks's we have a lot of this Bulgarian cheese which is kinda salty, but good.
• Salt. Not exactly a food, but soooo much food here is really salty.. in a good way.
• Bread. They have it at every meal (yum)
• Vegetables (especially at my house. They're vegetarians pretty much): mushrooms, avocados, onions, peppers, random kinds of beans. 
• Fruit: mandarins, apples, pears, strawberries.
• Tomatoes. Not too sure whether to consider it a fruit or a vegetable because it's technically a fruit.. Regardless they appear at every meal.
• Yogurt

I can't think of any others, but I know the other Americans eat a lot of ham, fish and other meats. Not us! Can't complain.. I love the food here. Had paella for lunch. Too good. I have yet to decide whether I'll be happy or sad to eat my favorite American foods again when I get home..
