A popular traditional dish here is paella, or "seafoods of the sea," which features shrimp that still have their eyeballs. Here's one -- his name is Paco -- looking at me with an expression that says, "What kind of monster are you?
There are many great works of art in Spain, including this famous painting by the famous painter Picasso, titled "No Se Permite El Perro Hacer Whiz-o Aqui."

Good one wiredog. I can't eat anything that is looking at me either. What are the black things? Beans maybe?

Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 20, 2011 at 10:04 AM
The black things are mussel shells, made famous by Claude Van Damme, the Mussel from Brussels.
Posted by: David | June 20, 2011 at 10:06 AM
Thanks David. I don't eat those either.

Eat the shrimp. You're top of the food chain...at least in a restaurant.
Did judi fire herself?

Paco's probably already dead, but still.

When your food sees with eyes
It's a seefood: surpreyes!
That's paella!
Posted by: sandy | June 20, 2011 at 12:51 PM
For some reason, I thought paella was generally landfood.
Posted by: Elon | June 20, 2011 at 12:54 PM
The rice looks tasty. Do they have McDonald's in Spain?
Posted by: nursecindy | June 20, 2011 at 01:07 PM
applauds sandy!
Posted by: queensbee | June 20, 2011 at 01:11 PM
Dave, because I like you, I looked up McDonald's in Madrid. They have several but after looking up the translated reviews,which were translated by Google, I'm not sure I would eat at any of them. The last review say's something about lot's of tail. If you cannot get Google to translate for you this is an example of one of the reviews. btw, RIP Juniper.

"Pulling mussels from a shell"
Posted by: wiredog | June 20, 2011 at 01:43 PM
Perro Poopies.
I lived in Madrid for 2 years. They had 4 rush hours as they closed their shops in the afternoon for siesta.
They drove around in cars called Seats(Pronounced SEE OTTS) with the WHOLE fricken family inside Tios Abuelas etc). Seat in Spanish means garbage can with the lid for the hood.
But they re the kindest sweetest people you will find. If you even try to talk Spanish they help you and are happy that you are trying. In France on the other hand, if you try to speak French they look at you as though you just emitted a noxious gas in their face.

Que no umbruti sign is needed for young men with low-rider poopy pants, No?
Posted by: hogsatemysister | June 20, 2011 at 05:48 PM
OK, I've seen the Spanish, thanks to Dave, but how does one pronounce "Whiz-o" in English? "Ouiso"?
Posted by: Steve | June 20, 2011 at 06:52 PM
Dave -- you had to go to Spain for paella? There is arroz in Spanish Harlem.
Posted by: Ralph | June 20, 2011 at 07:38 PM
YA KNOW:
Ya know if NO ONE clicks on the websites of these site pests, they would go away for lack of business.
All it takes is ONE person to keep these pests around here.
Posted by: MikeyVA | June 21, 2011 at 07:17 AM
YUM, paella! My favorite-est of the Spanish-o foods-o. Eyes or not, Paco is destined for dinner.
Posted by: Guin | June 21, 2011 at 07:30 AM
Ha. I remember this sign. My wife and I saw it back in 2003 and we also snapped a picture of it.
Posted by: Aaron Greenhouse | June 21, 2011 at 11:10 AM
I enjoy paella but i don't think I would like to eat shrimps with they eye balls still on. No Thanks.
Posted by: Robert | July 25, 2011 at 02:57 AM
