JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA, Spain
By Joe Ray
Dad's gateway drug will be breakfast.
Toast a little wheel of bread, pour a liberal dose of olive oil on top, add a few spoonfuls of crushed tomato and a sprinkle of salt for good measure. Watch the city wake up as you down a café con leche.
Later, have your idea of freshness brought up to date at the Mercado Central de Abastos where you sell fish or play second fiddle.
Perhaps due to most stalls' paintings of Jesus, the big-eyed redfish stare out, looking forlorn and guilty.
All I can think of is following one of these little ladies home so I can see how she cooks her fish.
