Restaurant Xiscarexantar in Barcelona, Spain

Almejas con salsa verdy y lacón

I'm quite happy to have stepped into this neighborhood bar, as I was the only person in there speaking English (59 Carrer de Pere IV, 934-85-5862). It was a lively local scene, and I grabbed a few things like those clams above, as well as a wet-cured Galician ham called lacón, both of which were deliciously savory. But the highlight had to have been the morro frito, or fried pig snouts. They were chopped up and were kinda like tougher versions of pork rinds, going great with all of the booze. In retrospect, I should've taken my remaining snouts back with me in a bag since they'd make for a nice snack on the go.
