Cocido Madrileño Soup at La Cruzada in Madrid
I read that while in Madrid, you have to try the cocido Madrileño soup, and La Cruzada is known for having one of the best. It's a chickpea and meat stew that came about during the Middle Ages and is served in courses. At La Cruzada, you get a giant vat of noodle soup to start, the chickpeas and vegetables next, then all of the meats (beef knuckle, chorizo, blood sausage, chicken, ham, bacon, and bone marrow), followed by dessert and a shot of alcohol. It was a SHOCKING AMOUNT OF FOOD. And such a great experience.
