Vegetables? Not from a tin, or worse a jar?

Following a somewhat difficult and heated  passage in Bureboy tribe relationships in the second capital, Cuitadella and on the strict instructions  from Tour Guide @walshamboy we headed for the cooler clime of Aqua Park Los Delfines, Cala en Blanes. Not sure why no pic but you have to see the 61 Sixty One Irish  pub Barrack Obama wall mural opposite.

Years gone by the micro Bureboys would spend many an hour  in this or sister water slide park Aqua Rock, in Cala en Bosc. @bain3z tested the E111 system thoroughly having cracked his skull on a slide. Red Cross hospital, x-ray, stitches, seeing crusties being discriminated  against. What a pip.

We slowly graduated to the younger ones being deposited with Commander -in chief whilst the remainder looked round Ciutadella, sulked about broken sandals and finding fish markets. And , best of all (at the time of a Big Brother series) resounding cry from  Family Chav looking round a souvenir mug stall "They've got a Darnell boys".

The point is?
Well, on one occasion myself, Titular Head opted for some local sounding food, the"tipical" Menorcan Chicken. Served in an earthenware pot, and resting on....vegetables. Yes. Onions, tomatoes. garlic cloves and everything. Cooked in chicken juices, and from  fresh! The sun broke out from the clouds, skylarks soared and tweeted, . You get the picture (apologies to Chris Yates).  And cheap.

Given it  may never happen again we just had to go.

 Commander -in chief's core body temperature now down to about 104oC
Does the menu still cut it? Has it changed?
At first glance  this probably says not.....
 Tasty Menrocan sausage. On a skewer
Not your traditional tapas dish I grant you

Me being me the reason for my visit, Menorcan chicken , with vegetables was not captured. on SD card, in fact I nearly left the camera behind  on the floor. It was a damn fine piece of chicken though.. Thumbs up today all round

@bain3z made an observation which is worth exploring. Nice beer. Estella Damm? No, it appears that in general that grockles get served San Miguell or similar, unless they ask for the better tap offering. More pondering on size, price, being sick of louts in replica shirts pointing and shouting etc later.
