Quenelles de brochet.
Creamed fish, formed into sausages, and poached. Quite frankly, one of the most disgusting things I've ever had in my mouth (I didn't get as far as swallowing, it was that disgusting).

Mmmm...Iberico ham
Love it. I think Spanish food is underrated - it maybe lacks the supposed sophistication of Italian but I'll take Iberico or Serrano over Parma any day.

Edit - edited you ninja bastard.

Yerp, sorry.
I might do a "best" answer in a bit, I need to have a think. There's a place in Madrid called "The Palace of Meat", it serves nothing but ham tapas (and alcohol, obviously)

on calle gran via?
I've spent many happy a night in there. There's a little chap working behind the counter who is like a cockerel, all strutting energy and flashing eyes, who likes to dazzle the laydees with his zorro-esque knife skills, theatrically slicing off shards of finest ham, in the apparent belief it'll get him laid (and what do i know, maybe it does).

i watched him get it wrong one evening, and slice his finger. I thought he was going to stab me when i honked with laughter....

I think so...
Can't remember, but it's near the main square, I think. We also went to a place that specialises in seafood tapas - deep-fried mini squid, braised octopus in paprika etc... magic.
