One of my favorite parts about living in Spain is eating Spanish food. I love the food that my Spanish mother cooks for me, and furthermore, she prepares plenty of it, which I appreciate. Most of the food consists of ingredients used in the United States but is prepared in a different manner. Olive oil is used in nearly everything, sometimes for flavoring and sometimes for frying.
Fish is more common here.
The fruit is often very large and usually very sweet. The appearance isn't as pristine, because the skin of the fruit might be bruised, but we usually peel the skin off of every thing. One of the new fruits that I have tried is called chirimoya. On the outside it looks like a pear covered with large scales, but when it is cut open there is a sweet and juicy white interior. It has lots of seeds , but the are large and easy to pick out.
