AlanHo Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 As some of you will have noticed - I'm back home again after an eventful holiday which was punctuated by ETA letting off a bomb in a car park where my Avis rental car was parked.I also had a wild experience in a restaurant.We were in this restaurant in Ronda one evening, suddenly the kitchen doors were flung open and a small band appeared accompanying the waiter who was bearing a large silver dish with dome cover. They proceeded to a table at the far side of the dining room and gathered around the customers table. With a great flourish the dome was removed revealing two large spherical objects steaming in a delicious smelling rich sauce. All the Spanish customers in the restaurant stood up and clapped in great excitement.Being somewhat mystified I called the head waiter over and asked what all the fuss was about. He told me that after the bullfight, the bulls testicles are marinated in a secret recipe and served in a unique sauce as a renowned local delicacy. I asked if I could order the same but was disappointed to find that I had to be put on a waiting list for a meal later in the week and they would notify me by text on my mobile if I was successful.As luck would have it - 3 days later I received a text and summoned to the restaurant that evening. In great anticipation we watched the kitchen door burst open, the band and waiter attended the table and the dome was removed with a great flourish. To my amazement, on the dish were two small spheres floating in the sauce. I complained to the waiter that the previous meal I had witnessed comprised two large balls, why small ones for me.The waiter replied - "but Senor, the bull sometimes wins".
