Speak With Your Mouth Full If You Want To (Part II)

Empanadas All Day Every Day

I have to confess that the one time I still speak with my mouth full is when I am scoffing empanadas. I just can’t resist the handsome little devils. If you are taking Spanish lessons Brighton might not be the best place to find a tasty empanada but a Cornish pasty will get you used to the idea before you experience the real thing. Of course, once you have learned Spanish well and come across to Latin America you will discover that the Cornish pasty is to the empanada as a tub of jellied eels is to a plate of caviar. You need to learn supplementary words to cover the fillings of course, as the first one I bought was filled with mermelada and I still expected to meet some meat when I bit into it, which led to a strange experience.
