The foodie file


Tea prep while sipping cider in a Wiltshire field



Fish and chips and beef pie in what's claimed is the world's only pub inside a stone circle of henges (at Avebury)


Sam's haul of Wiltshire blackberries

Crustacean attack!










Another pub and another feed of F&C (apparently the French are into them this year, so yes, we are sophisticates) - this one "The Last Pub" in England, just shy of Land's End




The wonders of a Seville chocolate shop are hard to appreciate after an hour's walk in 39 degrees and coming no closer to affordable food





More sweets, this time in Cadiz where every 2nd shop is either selling barras (baguettes) or lollies



The world's dinkiest Trumpets











Sam keeps the British burger flag flying in Spain, but it's paella for the rest of us

We try out a different type of olive from the old Cadiz central market each day



Helados in Plaza de Mina, Cadiz, to mark the girls' 6th birthday



The hotel buffet breakfast takes on a whole new meaning ...



...which may come as a relief to the other guests



One of our Top 10 (or 3?) teas - supermarket-bought chicken, olives and balsamic looking across the Tajo River gorge to wonderful Toledo


Kebabs in Granada before the grunt uphill to see the Alhambra (cost, about 28 euro for 6 of us)




Beating the heat







Jac has one or two dining on tapas al fresco in Ronda - the effect is immediate (here we had THE best squid rings, kids were dubious but loved them - not so the Boquerones fritos or deep fried anchovies; phil ordered them so, sorry, he had to finish them up)


The Olives man, Cadiz mercado



The enemy of the Spanish man's arteries - Sam tries deepfried churros, a regular breakfast down in the street




Shopping for fish, which proved more successful than the actual cooking - Rick Stein needn't feel threatened


Cactus fruits, a somewhat acquired taste, but Ellie came to champion them
