Eating Babies in Madrid

---

Friday night we - yes, you guessed it - did indeed eat babies in Madrid. Delicious, delicious babies. An old friend of my dad’s from back in the day, Carrie Szczerbik, is living in Madrid now, and she took us a little guided of tour of Madrid’s best tapas places. Tapas is a type of eating where they bring you small orders of lots of different types of food. Sometimes you pay for the food, sometimes they just give it you if you get something to drink.

So last night we went to this restaurant where we ordered a lot of tapas. We got mussels breads, ham (of course! Spain is crazy for ham!), asparagus, and a HUGE seafood platter! The platter had smelt (some type of baby fish where they fry the entire fish - kind of like a sardine), baby squid, octopus, shrimp, and some other small fishies. Our dad’s friend Carrie scared Anna with an ugly fish head from the fish on the plater! That was funny. Anna didn’t know that she ate calamari that night because my mom tricked her and said it was an onion ring. Ha ha!
