A big thank you goes to The Divine Miss N (who has moved to a new URL!) for dropping by (or commenting by) and providing me this critical piece of information:

Best Spanish foodstore in London is Brindisi (voted this year’s best foodshop in the UK by the Observer).

The other day I told you about me being a travelling aficionado. I happen to be a foodie as well. I cannot travel around the world everyweek, but I can travel culinarily to a new world, to a different state of mind, to a parallel universe enjoying a good meal. I love both cooking, eating and going to restaurants. And in the USA is quite difficult and expensive to find fine foods.

Food is one of my reasons to get back to Europe after a two year period in the USA, believe me on that one!

Back to Brindisi, I will check it out the moment I arrive in London and give you my barcelonese foodie point of view. For my future reference:

This importer of the highest-quality Spanish foods started bringing Iberian flavours to an eager public 17 years ago. As Spanish regional cooking has become more fashionable, so Brindisa has continued to supply superior paella pans, unforgettable chorizo and morcilla, savoury sauces like the Catalan Romesco almond and pepper, and great cheeses. An emporium of wonderful food under the direction of passionate Hispanophile MD and founder Monika Linton.

Brindisa, 32 Exmouth Market, Clerkenwell, London EC1 (020 7713 1666), and the Floral Hall, Borough Market, London SE1 (020 7407 1036)
