Fabada, paella, marmitako or Galician octopus, among others, are untouchable dishes as they represent a gastronomic culture and sometimes a gastronomic culture. The French omelette, on the other hand, is for everyone, even though it comes from France. I add what I usually find in the fridge, not to spoil the flavor, but to make it more satisfying. I even put banana peel scratches on it with no complaints from customers. Also very small oysters which are very cheap off the boat. And the seared, leek, eggplant, and carrot tacos, I don’t know, I don’t remember the ingredients from one time to the next because I change them all the time. Naturally, it turns out to be quite heavy, but it is a weight that will not offend any national feeling. I have publicly stated many times that I like this tortilla, but do not like it very much, and neither Basques, Murcians, Andalusians nor Extremadurans took it lightly.
Where am I going with all this? A great mistake made by the manufacturers of Almax, an excellent antacid, when choosing Asturian fabada, one of the world’s easiest to digest and lightest dishes, to advertise their products. In the name of God, in the name of God! No one comes to mind. Even if it’s true that Fabada causes heavy digestion, which we quickly deny, it should never have been used for a drug campaign. Because? That’s exactly why, because you can’t attend the pharmacy and local food without hurting someone. Anyone in the first year of advertising knows this.
Now Almax comes and offers me a million euros to use my crazy tortilla, it tastes good, I repeat, because I also add a broth tablet but it causes gastritis and I say:
-Forward!
As a hypochondriac, I don’t care if people make that connection between a drug and my food. I like this, more. In fact, many times I was about to add some Almax powder to my fry to counteract the excess pepper. Perhaps it will pave the way for a new method of treating stomach ailments. I have many ideas, gentlemen of Almax, talk to me.
