¿Qué te gustaría para el desayuno?

"What would you like for breakfast?" Because we tend to go to the neighbourhood cafes for breakfast, we often found the waiters had very little English. Cafe con leche was easy to figure out. The rest took a bit more time. Because these little cafes always seemed more like bakeries to me, it was easy to just point to a fresh croissant. After watching the locals for a while, we tried fat slices of bread with sides of crushed tomatoes, jamon, olive oil and salt. Recently Bill figured out how to say butter and jam (mantequilla y mermelada) so I most often skip the jamon now.

Spanish omelette - mostly potato with some sort of bread on the side. 

Jamon and bread - the tomato is more often crushed on the side. 

Our neighbourhood cafe in Barcelona

Crushed tomato - this time came with melted cheese

We would watch locals pour olive oil on thick slices of toast and then sprinkle salt. We tried it - it 's okay but maybe not for breakfast? 

My "usual" for the first while.
