Good afternoon.
This blog is being written from the US, for we had to wake up at 5 am to drive to Barcelona for our flight.
So yesterday we had a nice time in Roses. Dad burnt only the second clutch of the entire trip from his dire struggles driving in treacherous terrain!
Here are some photos from Roses
Now the reason for traveling to Roses was to eat at El Bulli, which has been previously ranked the best restaurant in the world.
After eating there, you realize that Ferran Adria is just a revolutionary of gastronomy. While many of the items tasted fair or odd, he consistently challenged what ones perceptions of food can be. Given the impending closure of the restaurant, I'm glad to have been, yet not begging to go back.
While trying to explain these photos, please understand these photos will give off an appearance that might not equate to its actual composition.
Considering there were more than twenty five dishes, I'll post the ones I can remember.
Mojito cocktail
Cocktail is inside the sugarcane
Cheese that is frozen into a different state of matter
Macadamia nut shavings cookie
Coconut sponge
Real caviar sauce with fake caviar pearls
Prawn accompanied with prawn sauce
Ravioli
Dipped into water for two seconds and the paper around the ravioli dissipates
Fatty tuna
Taco with cocktail
Artichoke inside
Outside is the only edible rose in the world
Combination of Spain's two most popular soups: Gazpacho and Almond Soup
Sandwich
Thai influenced vegetable wrap on potato paper
Smash then eat the ice
Treasure chest of chocolates
With the father of molecular gastronomy, Adria Ferran
And finally a photo aboard our Barcelona to Atlanta flight.
We are about to leave for Tampa.
Tomorrow will be the final post.
