Also good was the boquerones, avocado & red onion pickle. We were not thrilled with the zucchini roulade with goat cheese, mint & balsamic reduction. The organic strawberries with rose cream was a hit. We enjoyed the salt cod & potato cazuela. Also good was the boquerones, avocado & red onion pickle.

I wish I knew about La Bota when I visited London last summer! Harrod's Food Court kept me in the clouds though. I’ve wondered about that too.

(la bota in crouch end for any random london stragglers reading this.) i'd be interested in reading a history of tapas, actually. the other day i was wondering if it wasn't a middle-eastern leftover, given the preponderance of meze throughout the ME. i love tapas too. one of my favourite (and affordable) places to eat in london is a tapas place.
