Puppy Dog Tails . . .

. . . not quite!  But on the table we have bunnies, snails and quail in this very Catalan restaurant in Sarria, Barcelona that we had never been to in 34 years of living here, along with Claire and Phil, who had never been here either!  All really nice, and a fine, old Catalan gentleman cottoned onto us at the end to tell a few stories from the valleys and the civil war, which was a test of our listening for gist!

When our plates were laid on the table, I remarked that the rabbit-snail combination reminded me of the hare-tortoise story, and Phil wittingly, for me at least, said, ‘The message is that at the end of the day we all get cooked!’
