EXPLORING A MASSIVE SPANISH SUPERMARKET! 📹
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
I always think it's really interesting visiting supermarkets in new countries. It gives you a real insight into the local diet, and the local culture. So Yoly and I decided to dive into the massive supermarket in the outskirts of Madrid to give you guys an insight into what's there. We check out Spanish potato chips, the massive selection of jamón, lots of interesting meats (blood sausage, rabbit, pigs' brains and snout and more), cheeses, more cured meats and so much more.
But beyond that, we also dove into the frozen food section to see what we could find (yes, we found frozen paella in Spain!). And we also explored the enormous olive oil section, with everything from normal olive oil, right through to extra virgin olive oil (which is pretty cheap in Spain!).
==== WHO ARE WE? ====
Hola, Spain lovers! We're James and Yoly. James is a New Zealander, and Yoly is from Spain. And we both live in Madrid. This channel is all about giving you a local insight into life in Spain, and helping you experience this country like a local when you come to live (or visit!).

Yes, that’s the one!

Going to the supermarket in the UK feels like a chore. Going in Spain feels like a party - I love the food selection there and the quality of the products.

Spanish canned food is world top quality. In most countries it is disgusting trash food of the lowest quality, but in Spain you can have a damn good healthy dinner opening a couple of cans of seafood.
Totally agree!!
Canned seafood are a staple in the spanish bachelor diet (at least in mine).
It really is very good! I just make sure to buy food preserved in brine or olive oil. Vegetable oil is terrible for your health 😖
Totalmente, mi mayor sufrimiento viviendo fuera era la mala calidad de conservas q había.
Like canned octopus
I'm Bulgarian and we eat sunflower seeds the same way. At a football game this is the best snack. Enjoy. Thanks for the wonderful video on the Spanish supermarket. Love it.
The same in Greece! The shells are all over the floors in the main squares 😂
Y se ha dejado la sección de verduras, frutas y hortalizas, que es una de las más grandes. Supongo que no ha querido saturar de infomación a los extranjeros jajaja.
I did film in those sections but yeah, it was all getting too long!
Se le iba a hacer super largo el video si enseña mas cosas
frutas, hortalizas, verduras LEGUMBRES y quesos.
One of the reasons for the low prices compared to other countries (specially the US) is that most of the food is produced in Spain, the country has a very strong food industries, no import taxes, less intermediates and the food only has to travel a few hundred km from the region it was made to the market.
The food is cheaper but the proportion with salaries and taxes make that food in spain is actually far expensive. Even the white brands.
It's cheap for tourists cause our salaries are shit
Also because of the wages here in Spain, that are very low. The average wage per month is around 1200€, while in countries like the US is above 3000€. Poor countries = low prices.
@@Hatsol97 You are wrong, Spain's average wage it's 1.889 €.
I also have to point that Spain is not a poor country, is one of the 15 richest countries in the world.
You are also wrong about the prices, food is cheaper because it has less transportation costs.
No. Because it is massively subsidised by the EU. Spain is a net benefactor of EU funding. Hence their greedy fishermen and farmers get all the help.
Una aproximación totalmente legítima a los supermercados y la gastronomía de España. Pronunciación del español perfecta. Creo que lo mejor que he visto en inglés sobre España a este nivel. Guiris: you MUST watch it!
Gracias Quique!
As an Englisher who lived in Spain for 6 years. I always tried to work on my accent. I think a good accent is paramount to being understood, even moreso than perfect grammar. I cringed at some of the English accents I heard in my Spanish class. I like to listen and imitate. I have always liked impersonating people and accents since being young for fun. It seems to have come in handy for later language learning!
Queda claro que se relaciona mucho con españoles. Solo hay que ver a su pareja. Es algo que le ocurre a muchos extranjeros, que apenas se relacionan con gente local y, claro, malamente vas a aprender el idioma.
A trick from a spanish:
If you want to know how good a jam is, take the one with the worst looking hand, that means the pig was free and lived in the mountain
"Little people from the Congo" soy española y me parto la polla, nunca lo había pensado, me has arruinado la infancia 😂
Isa tal cual, toda la vida oyéndolo y ni se me había pasado por la cabeza
Jajajahaha vaya tela 😂
Joder ya ves
A ver, no he llegado a esa parte del video todavía, pero por la frase de "little people from the Congo" supongo que se habra topado con una bolsa de Conguitos.
La verdad, no sé como no os habéis percatado antes del origen del nombre. Siempre que veo una bolsa de Conguitos pienso en el anuncio antiguo del ColaCao con la canción hablando de Africa y en como si los Conguitos se tratarán de vender en los estados unidos serían bastante polémicos porque el personaje que sale en todas las bolsas se podría catalogar como lo que ellos llaman "blackface".
@@zaek2144 gracias Einstein, de verdad 😂😂😂
As a Spanish I can say you pronounced "Alpujarras" really well. You pronounce the Spanish "j" really really well.
Thank you!!! Gracias!
I mean... He seems very into the culture, everything he said about Spain was started with a ''We'', so props to him for being like that when people in Spain are getting over their heads wanting to go against Spain...
Cuándo sale del supermercado y dice "carrito" con la rr pronunciada mejor que muchos locales, casi me he puesto a aplaudir
@Aitor Tilla conoces a Jose de España? De Burgos una pedania ya casi desparecida?
I am a Castilian woman and your pronunciation is better than mine??? You even nailed the particular musicality of the language, You just sound like a Spaniard, born and bred. Jesus. Wow.
Here in Canada international foods are becoming more popular because we have many awesome cultures. Spanish is one of my favorites 😊
This is so normal to me but seeing you show us around makes me realize that many things are really only available in Spain
I’m glad!
Soe Diamantis you said it girl I live in Canada 🇨🇦 the hams are expensive we don’t see whole legs ..... (cures)
Are these things common across all of Spain? We are planning to move in a few years and it seems so great to have so many different options in the shop. It looks really great haha.
@@CB-jv6cj Yes, those things are common in the whole country. You won't regret moving here 😁
@@josealbertohocescastro3240 I believe that haha I really can't wait.
Great video! When I visited Spain I only went to Mercadona and I felt like I was in Disneyland, lol... I love Spain!
Haha totally!
Actually Mercadona is known for it's lack of variety, as they have their own brand (as many other supermarkets, Consum, Carrefour, Alcampo, Dia, etc) but don't have many other 1st brands. cheers!
@@ilovesunsets I totally understand the feeling! When I travelled to England I use to love going to Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's..... Cheers!
@@daniperez2335, "variety" doesn't usually mean a supply of many brands but of many different products (even if they're all of the same brand).
@ True, but as you know Mercadona is a regular supermarket (not like Alcampo, Carrefour, Eroski...) In the means that it only has food and few cosmetics. Doesn't have clothing, electeonics, etc. And it doesn't have the variety in foods as the above mentioned. But, compared to other shops like Consum, Lidl, Aldi brandwise it has no variety. I will say that many products under Hacendado are made by known brands, they just don't pay to advertise them. Cheers!
One interesting thing is that on the rural areas of Spain people make their own wine, it's like a family wine. My grandfather used to make it and had his own barrels and stuff because we have vineyards on our garden. However it can be a little bit bitter because it's not over processed but it's really cool. So if you ever go to a rural restaurant here, ask if they have "vino de la casa" (home wine) and you can taste it.
Great review and greetings from Spain! 🇪🇦
I think you missed the cheese section, that's another huge section in Spanish supermarkets, cheese takes a lot of space along with all other dairies (not just UHT milk).
There are over 400 varieties of Spanish cheeses
Tenéis que hacer un vídeo sobre la lotería de Navidad en España, creo que es una de las tradiciones más específicas del país. Pueden flipar.
Muy buena idea! A ver si me da tiempo!
si, la semana pasada he visitado por primera vez y no entendía el lío con la lotería.
I can’t get my head around the willingness to queue for hours to buy a lottery ticket at Doña Manolita! A lot of people are very superstitious, stuff that I’d rather go to a bar have a coffee and buy a décimo there on my way out
@@JackR772 The queue is part of the ritual. I'm sure that if Doña Manolita could serve "décimos" 10 times faster and there would be no queue then many people would drop their intention of buying there.
@@stephaniec.9335 Muchos españoles tampoco entienden: ni el sistema, ni la locura alrededor.
Your pronunciation is perfect. A lot of foreigners struggle with the 'j' and the 'rr' but you just nailed it! It's very good to see someone from another country liking spain so much. ¡Un saludo!
Thank you!!
It took me 4 long moths to learn to pronounce the rolling r (rr) sound - but was only successful in pronunciation if didn't thought about doing it.
Spanish 'j' and Danish 'h' has almost the same pronunciation , so that was really easy to learn. Danish is much closer in pronunciation to Spanish than English is to Spanish.
@@charonstyxferryman nah don't worry,i'm a spaniard and i didn't learn to pronunce the "rr" until i was 5 y/o
@@irene1024 M madre me decía, canta conmigo, ♫el perro de Ramón Rodríguez no tiene rabo porque Ramón Rodríguez se la ha cortado♫.
If you are going to fry with it, simple olive oil is what you want. Extra virgin olive oil is what you make dressings with, or drizzle over your salad. Cooking with Extra Virgin Olive oil is just a waste as it loses any of it's antioxidant benefits and it's delicate flavours.
Been to spain 4x, another short trip in 2 weeks, but I always bring an extra suitcase inside a larger one to bring back Spanish products. IMO, Spain has the best eats in the world.
Best country, best language, best food, most beautiful people, great architecture, best dressed people, best music, best dancers
Best weather
Best family orientated towards their young and elderly, best people.whats not to like about that beautiful country..

@@barbaratg5230 exactly
Things certainly have changed since I was a student living in Madrid in the late ‘60s! No supermarkets back then. We had to buy fresh food at the market and visit the local grocer for canned goods. The apartment had a mini-fridge, and most fresh meat and produce were kept cool in bags outside the kitchen window! Ah, the good old days!!!

Me parece bastante deprimente la total falta de alioli en este video.
jaja
all i oli
All i oli al morter, lo del super es mayonesa de ajo.
@@andressevillagregori6873 sense ou!!
Como han dicho ya Montxo y Andres... La salsa, tal y como la hacemos por la terreta, es "all (ajo) i (y) oli (aceite)" "allioli" (ajo y aceite / ajiaceite). Aquí a veces hay guerra cuando alguien dice "alioli", no sé cómo pudieron ser tan estúpidos los de la rae para ponerlo así xD
NOTA: aunque es un poco de trampa, si no consigues ligar bien el ajo y el aceite puedes poner la yema de un huevo y ayuda mucho a que mezcle bien sin alterar demasiado el sabor.
NOTA 2: cualquier cosa que le eches de más al allioli es motivo de destierro inmediato. Echar yogur blanco, leche o cualquier otro derivado, limón, lima o cualquier cítrico que se te ocurra, etc. = muerte o destierro
Estrella Galicia is my favourite Spanish beer. Every Christmas I buy a box of 32 bottles and have them sent from Spain.

@@mortal16 Votan mahou y cruzcampo mejor que legado de yuste... No tienen ni puta idea.
My american husband loves Cruzcampo!
I just moved back to England after 6 years in Tarragona (this video is making me sad, missing Spain; my Spanish ex-girl broke my heart too!). I used to drink either Estrella Damm the Barcelona brewery. Or Estrella Galicia. One thing about Spanish lager, those two in particular, are much stronger than UK largers. Estrella Damm being 5.3%, Galicia being 5.5%. You really feel it! In the UK now many brewers have dropped lager and English-style ales to well below 5%. I think government legislation and tax to discourage our heavy alcohol dependencies! So Estrella Damm is now sold in the UK but at a much reduced 4.5%. I much prefer the higher Spanish versions.

The food in Spain is amazing. Been there several times. Wish there was more Spanish restaurants in the UK
I lived in Spain for six years. The good restaurants are good but there are plenty of crap tapas bars: the number of cold and old patatas bravas I had was amazing. Bad mejillones etc. Like here, you get what you pay for.

Carrefour in fact is a French supermarket, here we have Mercadona
Would really like to know.. is there a price difference Between these too supermarkets Carrefour & Mercadona?!
E Hipercor, y Dia, y Eroski, y La Plaza, y AhorraMás, y SuperSol , y Sánchez Romero... Anda que no hay supermercados, unos más caros y otros más baratos. Y estoy hablando sólo de Madrid.
Bella Bianka the differences between those súper markets are the size of the comercial area and the variety of products, mostly.
Their selection are made for Spanish consumers in both places.
I love a good mercadonna when I'm in Spain. ..I could spend hours looking at all the produce. ..
Verdad
Glad to see how people from other places abroad show interest and special appreciation for our food, country and diverse culture. Love your content !! Greetings and blessings from a Spanish guy studying in the US
I live in Germany but went to Madrid for four days and loved it. Now I’m itching to go back but somewhere else in Spain maybe Sevilla or Andalusia. I’d love to learn Spanish one day it’s a beautiful language. ❤️🇪🇸
It’s a wonderful country and language! I hope you get back!
Start like I did with English...I started reading a novel and translating as I was reading it...I had a pencil and wrote all the Spanish words and circled the English ones I did not know...A lot of work but I even went to college with only nine months of learned English...Not easy though...You can do it in your own time...That's how I started...There is a book titled "500 hundred Spanish Verbs" with its present, past and future forms and all the rest....It is in English and you can find it at Barnes & Noble...or probably at Amazon...
Sevilla is in andalusia, in fact it's the capital of Andalusia
Taryn, Quote you :" I’d love to learn Spanish one day"
Take a look at Duolingo, and Memrise.
I have Memrise Premium, where one the premium things are that you can hear Spaniards pronounce words and small sentences. Love that.
you could try HelloTalk if you feel comfortable,native people and you can do a videocall and that way you can practise the language with a native speaker
I've been binge watching your channel for hours and I'm Spanish! I think you really got the authenticity of Spanish culture, unlike other UA-cam channels. Nice one!
After 20 years in Spain, I am on the white asparagus wagon!
Ok! I’ve got a few years to go!
what do you think about artichoke bottoms?
I love so much the "esparragos", white or green... I love them. And i would like to say, that they are white because they are subjected to a procedure in which they are completely buried when they are forming, so that chlorophyll does not occur and that leaves them softer. Then they cook them with salt water, and basically that's the canned product.
It's a bit like the matcha tea in Japan, which is shaded for a while ... but in this case they cover it completely with the land itself.
Asparagus white are called the white gold of The Netherlands. When they are fresh of the ground with a buttersauce, ham and chopped boiled egg.. new potato with it and it taste great. But those canned things are not tasty at all. I only like the fresh just out of the ground ones. End of June again😉😉😉
Like a native Spanish I'm in love with the white asparagus, but I seem a fake Spanish couse I don't like things like cocido, morcilla, cortezas and more Spanish stuff
The Canned Fish I ate in Spain was on a whole different level. how they pull this off I don't know. but I became quite sad when i ate the last canned fish from my recent trip to Spain. (thank you for all of your videos they really brighten my day!) the selection of food is just absolutely wonderful. Lamb esp. good luck with your recent vegan experiment. olive oil here in florida is 4-5 times more expensive than the prices I saw in Tenerife
You have seen TV commercials for zero alcohol beer because drinks that contains alcohol can't be show on TV before 10pm. then, the brands use 0,0 beer to announce their brand.
Our extra virgin olive oil is about $17.00 USD per liter😔 in Kentucky United States
Ouch! Come to Spain Kathryn!
Here you can buy like 5 litres with 16 €
Wait until you see the price of gas here and you'll be happy to pay 17 usd for olive oil where you live.
Yeah, in the UK I think like the very cheapest olive oil is like £3 for 400ml, probably like £7-8 for 1 litre. So double maybe triple the average price.
I only buy extra Chad olive oil
Jamon Ruffles are the most addictive substance known to mankind

Como por ejemplo lo de la cerveza sin. Gran trabajo compañeros! Qué sentimiento tan grande me invade cuando veo las berenjenas en vinagre o el gazpacho o las latas de fabada, callos, almejas, berbes mmmmhhh...
Si no metes una palabra en inglés como "overlooked" implosionas.
Eres muy Pantomima Full.
¡Ahora un vídeo de Mercadona para que todo sea marca Hacendado! 😅
haha ok!
I was thinking absolutely the same thing! I really like the video, great way of showing how we live in Spain. But, Carrefour being a French supermarket, there are only certain products for which I go there. But then again, I am a huge Mercadona fan :)
Haha si que asco... algunas cosas de hacendado no están mal pero otras, ufff ni hablar.
Maria V Pues como todas las marcas. Hay productos buenos y productos malos, la diferencia es que aunque los fabrican cientos de productores se venden bajo una misma marca. Lo que es malo con marca Hacendado es igual de malo si lo compras con su marca original. Y al contrario.
El mito que tenéis muchos de que los productos de Hacendado son en general malos es eso, un mito. La calidad de Hacendado es un remix de la calidad general del producto en este país. En general buena vamos.
Otra cosa es que a muchos les sepa mejor el mismo producto pagado más caro, algo que está comprobado que pasa. Por no hablar de los que solo compran en el supermercado del corte inglés, que es un sitio de bien no como otros. En fin cada cual que queme su dinero como quiera.
Pues a mí me encantan los espárragos blancos.
De lo mejorcito
Están asquerosos 👎💩
Y a mí too
A mí también me gustan los espárragos. Con mayonesa mejor.
Los odio, pero me encanta una marca que se llama literalmente "cojonudos"

@@Ouail98 A mi es que me parece una gilipollez discutir esto. Aunque he de comentar que lo que dijo el del video es una tontería refiriéndose a si fue en la dictadura de franco, teniendo en cuenta que Conguitos es una marca privada no creo que tenga importancia la forma del estado de la época. A demás no hace falta buscar mucho para saber el significado de el nombre, se sabe que fue en referencia a la independencia del congo belga convirtiendose en la República del Congo, no sé hasta que punto eso se puede caracterizar de racista.
I am from Malaysia going to Spain soon 😍
¡Qué buen video! Se me antojaron muchas cosas 🤤
Siento que aquí en México no sabemos nada, absolutamente NADA de como es la vida de la gente en España. Acá es de lo más común que la gente sólo mencione a España o a los españoles para quejarse de que "nos conquistaron", algo que por alguna razón muchísima gente todavía no supera... 🙄
Siento que por eso mismo hay un cierto rechazo a lo que sea Español, y eso me parece muy lamentable. Pero para la gente es más fácil echarle la culpa a otros de que seamos tercer mundo, en vez de hacer algo nosotros mismos... En fin.
La leyenda Negra contra España hizo mucho mal y lo sigue haciendo, una pena, quien puede creerse que unos cuántas personas que iban en un barco pudieron conquistar solos a todo un imperio? Fácil, porque los aztecas tenían sometidos a los pobladores de los alrededores y estos ultimos les tenían ganas, solo hizo falta que Hernán Cortés se pusiera al frente, fueron los propios americanos quienes les vencieron.
Ya que le veo interesado vea en UA-cam los vídeos de Patricio Lons o Pablo Victoria , historiadores hispanoamericanos, descubrirá que no les han enseñado su verdadera historia.
Una lastima enorme Isaías, esperemos con en esta nueva era de internet e información podamos acercarnos algo más a la realidad, al menos quien así lo desee.
Saludos desde España!!
Es una pena porque en España en general se le tiene en muy buena consideración a México. Muchos españoles pasan vacaciones allí (aunque es cierto que algunos de ellos no salen del resort en Riviera Maya jajaja) y lo consideramos un país culturalmente hermano. La música de mariachis fue muy popular en España hace años, de hecho era la música favorita de mi abuelo. También ha habido telenovelas mexicanas que han triunfado aquí. Tuve varios amigos mexicanos en la universidad y eran gente muy amable y simpática, sin duda me encantaría visitar vuestro país algún día!
Todo bien, pero en mi nada sibarita opinión, el esnobismo del vino te está traicionando, efectivamente, cuando recomiendas evitar vinos de menos de 10€ para arriba, y especialmente en un país en el que los precios del vino "de calidad" está por los suelos, en comparación con tantos otros; personalmente, estoy la mar de contento con un "simple" tinto Monte Ducay (DO Cariñena de menos de 3€) como vino de diario (Vino que, en mi opinión, le pega veinte patadas en el paladar a tantos riojas de 15€ o más).
Y es que, en mi opinión, el mundo del vino es como el del arte: MAMONEO puro, que se ejemplifica fácil si has leído la noticia de hoy en los periódicos que dice que el elegido como "mejor whisky del mundo" por los sabios del Spirits Business Scotch Whisky Masters es... una botellita que venden a 14euros en el Aldi... :D
Saludos, chicos.
Facts
@Atelier Iris Lo acabo de repasar, y tienes parte de razón. Quiero decir que efectivamente dice exactamente eso, pero también dice a continuación que "the minute you hit 9,10,12€ you´re gonna drink some really good wine", implicando que por debajo de esa cifra, no se consigue, cosa de que la disiento profundamente, desde mi relativamente ineducada opinión.
De hecho, me ha pasado unas cuantas veces comprar un vino "caro" (como regalo, o simplemente por quedar bien, en un contexto social) y acabar atizándome un vino con un grado de acidez y de falta de nobleza en el paladar que un tetrabrick de Cabernet-Sauvignon de euro y medio en el Mercadona, no tiene.
En fin, que el paladar de cada cual, es suyo. Pero de que no hace falta gastarse ni diez ni seis euros para tener vino "de calidad", en este país, tengo muy poquitas dudas.
Un saludo.
Cierto! Vinos buenos desde 3,5, y 8 euros hay por montones, pero de esas cosas solo saben los locales de verdad.. Enfin.. Que esas recomendaciones las esta haciendo un Americano a otros Americanos.. y bueno que se lo crean y tal es problema de ellos.
@@jesst.354 Ni James es "americano" (ni tan siquiera es de Costa Rica, go figure...), ni informa exclusivamente para otros "americanos", ni deja de ser uno de los youtubers extranjeros mejor informados sobre la cultura y la gastronomía de este país (por no decir el mejor), que yo conozca. Otra cosa es que esté de acuerdo con sus criterios enológicos, que no es el caso.
Y yo creo que el único verdadero "problema" aquí es tu comentario, que trata de poner a caer de un burro a alguien que igual tiene bastante más idea de lo que habla de la que igual tú tienes, y que no sólo no demuestra el sesgo racista que tú muestras, sino que trata de hacer todo lo contrario, demostrando y disfrutando las virtudes de este país, para otros extranjeros.
Un saludo.
Totalmente de acuerdo.
Me he tomado vino sorprendentemente bueno por menos de €3 por botella en España.
(Esnobismo?).
Al final acabarán con el Castellano y solo utilizaremos palabras Ingleses españolizadas.
Que país.
Your Spanish pronunciation is really good but I'd like you to film a video in Spanish, it would be great to listen to your Spanish
Good idea! I'd certainly be nervous, but it could be worth a try!

Thanks for that!
first time i came to spain i have lays campesinas looooove the even now after 14 years
Riquisimas!!!!!
Thank you for saying " we eat a lot of that in Spain".Thank you for we
Of course :)
Good Video, but there is a little bit of ''wine snobbery'' going on here, you don't have to pay 6+ euros for a decent bottle of wine, and you can get a really nice bottle for 3 euros, and you can get a good sparkling wine for 3 to 4 euro's in the supermarkets, and if you're making Sangria, then a litre carton of wine for a Euro, filled with Fruit, Orange Juice and stiffened with vodka or gin and lots of ice, will make a very palatable and potent drink for little money as you sit by the pool in the evening.
I would suggest you got out of the big cities or the coastal routes, and explore the Spanish countryside, I'm English, and spend a lot of time in Andalucía. Hire a car for a few days and explore, visit little villages (pueblos) the people are very friendly, if you can speak a little Spanish, (say hello and order drinks etc) they appreciate your effort.
Parts of rural Spain are like travelling back in time, a slow and peaceful life style, go to a bodegas and buy a case or two, you can get some really nice wines at bargain prices. and occasionally a free wine tasting. Try the Spanish Brandy too it's excellent.
Cant go wrong with boxed don simon of youre using it for sangria
I can see you enjoy visiting Spain as much as I enjoy visiting London why don't you rent my lovely flat in Barcelona so I can go and spend 6 months in London 😉
Your wife is the most patient person I have ever seen
Jajajajjaja 😁😁
Great job James! As spanish expats in the UK we truly enjoyed your pretty unique view of a Spanish supermarket, full of respect and passion for our culture and our gastronomy. I highly recommend watching this video to all my friends and colleagues here in the UK. Keep going mate! Looking forward to your next one. :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
wish you had showed us more of the fresh fruits and vegetables....maybe next time
Yeah, I ran out of time. Next time!
Thers none of those in spain lmao
@@pablodelrio2270 What nonsense are you saying? It seems a lie that you are Spanish....
Spain is the world's largest producer of fruits and vegetables. It is known as "the garden of Europe". As a detail: a bad drought in Spain in 2012 (or 2013, I don't remember well) ruined the harvests and caused a crisis of stock-outs of vegetables in the United Kingdom and Germany ....
In Spain the fruits and vegetables are very fresh, of great quality and very cheap compared to other countries ...
@@pg.ledesma in spain saying what i said is a popular joke cause the ammount of jamón we eat lmao calm down
Whenever we used to go on holiday in another country, we always visit the supermarkets to see what the local people eat and how much they pay for it. This is also a good plan if you are thinking of moving to another country, just as we did before moving to Spain. Interestingly and to blow the entire video, here, you are in Carrefour which is a French supermarket in Spain.
UHT milk in Spain is nothing like UHT milk in France. The French stuff has a horrible sour taste to it whereas the Spanish UHT milk is not at all unpleasant and can be eaten on cereal without any taste problems which is something one can't do with the French stuff. Spanish supermarkets have all sorts of milk including fresh milk, almond milk, coconut milk, goat's milk, lactose-free, etc. and the whole range of fat levels (whole-, half- and no-fat They also have a wide range of cheeses made from those milks.
The fish counter is interesting with, often, live crabs and it is not unusual to see the assistant on the fish counter chasing after a live crab that has managed to drop off the edge of the counter and is trying to make a quick getaway.
The coffee with the burnt sugar is to imply a bitterness that some people prefer.
Most supermarkets in Spain sell a wide range of foods suitable for those with allergies, e.g. foods without gluten or without lactose, etc.
Cheapest wines are about 55 centimos for a litre in Lidl and is fine especially mixed with Casera Limón to make tinto de verano (summer red wine.) which is often drunk throughout the year.
Ham - know the difference between jamón and paleta. Jamón is from the hind leg of the pig from where we traditionally get the gammon ham, giving larger pieces of ham, the paleta is the foreleg and the shoulder where the cuts are fattier and the slices are smaller. The ham (both cuts) is always cut very thinly so that no matter what the tenderness of the actual meat, it will always be easy to eat. Unless you are really into drinking olive oil, when you order a plate of sliced ham in a restaurant, be aware that it may come swimming in so much oil to the extent that it is quite unpalateable.
Me as a catalan, I always have a fuet or two (Calvé or Casa Tarradellas) in my kitchen just in case I'm feeling lazy.
Toast some bread, peel and cut the entire fuet in 0.5cm thick slices, rub half a tomato over the bread before adding olive oil virgen extra alongside a little bit of salt.
Take a piece of fuet in your mouth, a bite of bread and munch them together.
Always glorious.
Aunque he de reconocer que el chiste de la Fideuá me ha hecho bastante gracia, en realidad no se trata de un plato catalán, sino valenciano. Concretamente es originario de Gandía, que supongo que conocerás si llevas tanto tiempo viviendo en Madrid ;)

"Magdalenas" are the spanish equivalent for the french Madeleines, which is the origin for the modern cupcakes.
cupcakes are magdalenas...with things on them, and four times the price. lmao...

Your video is delightful!! I've been missing Spain (I'm from Canada) and this is bringing back memories. I try to find Spanish food here in Canada but it is useless and it always tastes soooo good in Spain. Can't wait to return.
Bro, as a Spaniard living abroad for many many years and specially this year that I'm not going home for Christmas, you've made my day, you've left me here right now, like we say in Spain, "con los dientes largos" (with long teeth, meaning salivating for all that delicious food from home). Let's hope that papá's package arrives soon :D
haha - Feliz Navidad Ivan. I hope the package arrived!
Ahora tengo hambre. I love Spanish food mmm!
Me too! But I had a huge lunch. So not feeling very hungry right now ... :)
absolutely LOVE white asparagus
EXTRA BONUS: please, look at the origin written in a very small size font type. Most of them come from PRC (China) and Peru. I only buy asparagus from Navarre, as it must be.
Fresh white asparagus are a delicacy here in Belgium.They are normally only available from april until the end of june. They don't taste like the ones in the jars, i think those aren't great either. The typical white asparagus dish is Asperges à la flamande but they are also great with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. You will find them in jars here but they aren't popular.
"You can spend a lot of money in white asparagus if you are really into it" LMAO
Mi experiencia en EEUU hace años en Arizona hablo de por lo menos hace más de 20 años... no podía vivir sin aceite de oliva, fui a buscar a un supermercado y además de ser carísimo, el aceite de Jaén, se comercializaba como aceite Italiano. Los americanos en aquella época asociaban España solo a sudamericana y si hablabas de productos europeos sólo conocían Italia, Francia etc. Cosas de la época, quizá antes de las olimpiadas 🙄
i love that old 1800s font you see so often in spain. hope they never update a thing.
I know, right?! I love it!
