Beautiful story! There used to be charcoal burners in every woodland glade here in the Garfagnana (Italy), but the only remnant left is a mock-up along a historical walk at the village of Colognora, where there’s a chestnut museum and annual festival. This gives me an idea for a new festival…

Comment on Suquet: The Catalans’ Super Bowl by Philip

I am facinated by the variety of fish stews so favoured in Catalan areas.

In Menorca,, with its Catalan origins, lobster stew is famous amongst visitors.

It is believed that Fornells is the only place to really experience caldereta de llagosta, the renowned spiny lobster stew.

Its origins appear to be similar as it was the fishermen making full use of the lobsters they could not sell.

Caldereta de Llagosta is apparently so good that King Juan Carlos sails from his holiday palace in Mallorca just to eat lobster stew in Fornells.
