We encountered
this popular dish, pan con tomate. In probably my favorite conversations
of the trip, Amy asks the woman at the counter, "Que es el pan
con tomate?" to which she looked at Amy for a second and said
with a smirk, "Pan con tomate." (The English translation:
"What is the bread with tomato?" "It's bread with tomato."
We all had
a good laugh about it and when the woman brought it, she explained that
you put olive oil on the toasted bread and then slather on the thin tomato
sauce and eat it. Simple but tasty, shown below with a café
con leche.
