Being able to make the basics when you're sick is a nice...not sure I could stomach much else right now.
The Nick's Café Fool's Gold Loaf
2 tbsp. margarine
1 loaf French white bread
1 lb. sliced bacon
1 jar smooth peanut butter
1 jar grape jelly
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the margarine generously all over all sides of the loaf. Place it on a baking sheet in the oven.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a bit of oil until it is crisp and drain it thoroughly on paper towels.
Remove the loaf from the oven when it is evenly browned, after approximately 15 minutes. Slice the loaf lengthwise and hollow out the interior, leaving as much bread along the walls as desired. Slather a thick layer of peanut butter in the cavity of the loaf and follow with another thick layer of grape jelly. Use lots of both.
Arrange the bacon slices inside the cavity, or, if desired, layer the bacon slivers between the peanut butter and jelly. Close the loaf, slice and eat.

Gauch, I think you meant to say "Scottish" food there, not Spanish. Right? Because the best food in the Western world is from Spain, and it's rarely fried.

Bœuf bourguignon, coq au vin, shepherd's pie, feijoida.... even things like stuffed pastas (creative way of using a small amount of leftovers to feed an entire family), all have their roots in austerity.

It must have been the drawn butter that brought attention to the crustaceans from the wealthy.

I’m also wondering what Spanish food is deep-fried. I must admit that I don’t eat much Spanish cuisine, but my mental menu of Spanish food includes things like seafood, rice, olives, cheese, sausages, stews… I’m not coming up with anything on my mental list that’s deep-fried. Are you referring to the food that might be served in tourist-trap vacation sites?
