Today we went out for lunch to a town outside Madrid called Aranjuez…read more The restaurant called La Estrella de Aranjuez has a nice outside terrace with parasols so we decided to dine there. Before I carry on telling you what we ate I would like to tell you how I would call this experience: The Misfired Orgasm. We decided to go for the menu of the day so I chose the Lacón a la Gallega and she chose the full salad. Both were delicious. Second course I chose the cod in marinera sauce and she chose the Iberian ribs. The fish in sauce was excellent but the ribs were too undercooked inside, nearly raw though the outside was nearly burnt. For pudding we were going to go for the large strawberry and cream but they didnt have it. Instead I chose the flan and she the pancake with chocolate and cream. Both were pretty disgusting as the flan and cream on both were warm. The young waiter was pleasant and polite and the total bill with a San Miguel beer and a Fanta came to €19.00 which I thought was OK
