Putting the "Pan" in Spanish

One food item that never fails to bring back a flood of memories is the "Pan con Tomate."

This was something that Lolo Iking used to prepare. He'd take a slice of french bread, crush a fresh tomato on top, then drizzle it with olive oil.

This turns out to be a Spanish thing. When I'd go to BCN to visit Tita Evelyn and my cousins, they'd also prepare this for breakfast or a snack.

Imagine my thrill upon seeing this at The Marketplace in Shangrila Mall.

Not only is it a Pan con Tomate derivative, it's also from El Corte Ingles, which is the quintessential Spanish brand.

Time to relive those Spanish pan memories.
