Pimientos de PadrĂ³n

One place I take friends who visit me in Madrid is a flamenco bar called El MesĂ³n de la Guitarra. The bar is a dimly-lit cave carved out of the wall of Madrid’s most well-known square, Plaza Mayor. On any given night one or two men with guitars will strum their chords while older men crowded around wooden tables bellow their flamenco with fierce vibrato.
I brought my friends for the music initially, but one evening a man at a table next to us who was eating a plate of peppers ordered a plate of the same for my friends and I. Now I bring my friends for the music and the peppers.
