Despite the fact that Spanish food is quite tasty, I must admit that every now and then the capricho for a homemade (American) dish hits me every now and then. I head to the local supermarket with my ideas and their Spanish translations written down, but occasionally come up short. I’m cooking a big meal for my inlaws tomorrow, and was dying to make crab cakes but couldn’t, for the life of me, remember where I had once seen cheapish canned crab. (Nor do I have the “pasta” to buy four big ol’ crabs here.)
I was thinking that maybe some others here have their own home country -> Spain adaptations, and would be willing to share.
