Lunch at Cre-Cotte - the white wine didn't compare with that served at El Reloj in Salamanca, but was still decent. I started with a Japanese salad - lettuce, tomato, hard-boiled eggs, ham, rice, and crushed almonds, served with a dressing that was like a lighter version of Thousand Island. It was a decent salad and was quite filling, not leaving much room for the main course and dessert. The other option I considered for the first course was seafood cannelloni, but I opted for the salad as I've been vegetable deprived recently, since that's quite normal in Spain. One of the buns we were given was quite nice - crisp and chewy, but it was dusted with too much flour, which made you choke and gag a little bit when you ate it and accidentally inhaled some of the flour. For Mary - Lentil soup, with smoky ham and chorizo. Though it was good, the lentil dish we had at Thami's in Fez was better!
