Okay, I want you to picture something. Let's start really simple. Just a slice of rustic

2
00:00:04,050 --> 00:00:10,170
toasted bread. You can feel it's a bit rough. It's been rubbed hard with a raw garlic clove.

3
00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:15,850
Then you take one of those specific hanging tomatoes, the ramallet, and just squash it all

4
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:21,550
over until the bread is stained red. And then, to finish, a really generous drizzle of local

5
00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:26,230
olive oil, maybe a little pinch of sea salt. The classic Pamboli. I mean, it sounds like

6
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:30,130
a simple snack, but that right there is an institution. It is, and that's the whole point.

7
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:33,570
To anyone else, that's just lunch. But if you actually know what you're looking at,

8
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:38,610
that simple piece of bread isn't just food, it's a history book. And not a boring one either.

9
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:44,510
Yeah. It's a history book that covers, what, 2,000 years of invasions, incredible engineering,

10
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:51,850
religious conflict, global trade. It's a living archive. That's the phrase. That's what really

11
00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:56,650
stuck with me from the research, a living archive. So that's our mission for this deep dive.

12
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:00,910
We're going to the Mediterranean, specifically the island of Mallorca.

13
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:02,730
But not the typical travel guide version.

14
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:07,670
No, not just the top 10 beaches. We're digging into a pretty interesting stack of sources today.

15
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:13,530
We've got historical analyses, some culinary anthropology, and, what I found fascinating,

16
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:16,930
recent reports from the luxury lifestyle sector.

17
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:18,150
Right, that Le Ledger report.

18
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:23,830
Exactly. We want to understand how this island's food evolved. We're going to trace this timeline

19
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:30,590
from desperate survival, literally eating acorns, all the way to what the industry is now calling

20
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:32,170
invisible luxury.

21
00:01:32,450 --> 00:01:38,270
And that journey is just incredible because the soul of this food is Cocina de Pobre. The cooking

22
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:41,350
of the poor, it's all about scarcity, about using what you have.

23
00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:44,090
And now those same dishes are in Michelin-starred restaurants.

24
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:47,770
It's the centerpiece of these high-end travel experiences. It's a wild transformation.

25
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:51,850
So, okay, let's peel back the layers. If we're treating this like an archaeological dig,

26
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:56,430
we have to start at the very bottom, the bedrock, before the yachts, before the Romans.

27
00:01:56,970 --> 00:01:59,450
What were people actually eating on this island?

28
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:06,850
The baseline was, let's just say it was rough. If you go way back to the prehistoric Taliaotic

29
00:02:06,850 --> 00:02:12,730
era, the menu was dictated by a really stubborn landscape. You have to remember, Mallorca is

30
00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:17,370
beautiful, but it doesn't just give up calories easily, not without a lot of water.

31
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:20,210
And they obviously couldn't just import avocados from somewhere else.

32
00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:23,690
Exactly. You ate what you could find. The archaeological record

33
00:02:23,690 --> 00:02:28,050
shows a diet heavy on acorns, wild greens, and snails.

34
00:02:28,590 --> 00:02:32,510
Snails? It always seems to come back to snails in these ancient diets.

35
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:35,750
Well, they're the ultimate free protein, right? You don't need a weapon to catch a snail. You

36
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:39,730
just need a bit of patience. But the culinary identity we'd recognize today,

37
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:44,750
the actual structure of a meal, that really begins with the arrival of the big empires,

38
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:47,590
the Phoenicians, the Greeks, and of course, the Romans.

39
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:51,530
The Romans. They're the ones who basically install the operating system for Mediterranean

40
00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:54,050
food, aren't they? That's a perfect way to put it. They

41
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:57,750
brought the hardware. When the Romans showed up, they established that holy trinity of the

42
00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:03,870
Mediterranean pantry, the vine for wine, the olive tree for oil, and wheat for bread, and garlic.

43
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:06,170
So that slice of toast I mentioned at the very beginning.

44
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:11,050
It's Roman, pure and simple. When you eat bread, oil, and garlic, you're taking part in a ritual

45
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:15,930
that's thousands of years old. It's what we'd call elemental cooking. It wasn't about fancy

46
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:22,930
sauces. It was just about processing these raw products, wheat, olives, just enough to make

47
00:03:22,930 --> 00:03:25,370
them last. Okay. So that establishes this very

48
00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:31,430
rustic, generous foundation. But if the Romans built the foundation, the next layer, the Arab

49
00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:37,450
conquest, that seems to be where the whole picture goes from black and white to full technicolor.

50
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:44,290
Oh, absolutely. This is the period between roughly 902 and 1229. And the shift is dramatic.

51
00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:49,990
The Romans were engineers of stone roads, aqueducts. The Arabs were engineers of water and soil.

52
00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:54,430
So they didn't just bring new seeds. They totally changed how the island itself worked.

53
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:58,990
Yes. They looked at this dry, parched land and just saw a garden waiting to happen.

54
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:03,530
They built these amazing irrigation systems, the sequies, which let them terrace the hillsides.

55
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:07,450
That infrastructure suddenly allowed for all these new crops that needed consistent water.

56
00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:09,590
And this is where we get things like citrus fruits.

57
00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:17,310
Citrus, figs, almonds, aubergines, eggplants, artichokes, spinach. This is where Mallorca

58
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:20,190
gets that nickname, Sa Roqueta, the little rock that's a garden.

59
00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:25,110
It also seems like this is where the flavor profile gets really sophisticated. The Romans

60
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:31,870
were savory, functional. The Arab influence introduces this love for sweetness and aromatics.

61
00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:36,690
A beautiful tension, really. This is where we see the roots of Mallorcan confectionery.

62
00:04:37,130 --> 00:04:39,730
I mean, you can't talk about Mallorca without talking about the Ensaïmada.

63
00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:43,770
Ah, that famous spiral pastry. The one everyone brings home from the airport

64
00:04:43,770 --> 00:04:46,790
in those octagonal boxes. That's the one. It's the icon.

65
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:52,650
Now, the modern version uses pork lard, which came later, obviously. But the shape, that coiled

66
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:57,690
spiral, and the technique of stretching the dough until it's paper thin, that is distinctly Middle

67
00:04:57,690 --> 00:05:02,110
Eastern. The name itself probably comes from the Arabic word for fat, saïm.

68
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:05,750
So you get this amazing tension. You have this salty, earthy, peasant food,

69
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:08,610
and then these incredibly fragrant, sugary pastries.

70
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:13,710
And that's still the hallmark of the cuisine today. But, you know, we can't talk about dough

71
00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:18,790
without mentioning the Jewish contribution. The Sephardic footprint in Mallorca is huge,

72
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:22,310
but it's often quieter. It's more hidden than the Arab influence.

73
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:23,430
Hidden in what way?

74
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:28,410
Well, you have to think about the history of persecution. For centuries, the Jewish

75
00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:33,290
community there, the Xuetas, had to operate in secret or under constant pressure to convert.

76
00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:38,030
The bakery became a space where culture could be preserved, you know, intimately.

77
00:05:38,410 --> 00:05:42,310
So the recipes themselves became a kind of safe deposit box for their identity.

78
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:47,250
Precisely. You see it in the filled pastries, things like panades, these really sturdy meat

79
00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:52,630
pies, or cocarrois and robioles. The technique is so specific. You make a simple dough,

80
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:56,630
you fill it, and then you fold it with these intricate little pleats to seal it tight.

81
00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:59,170
That crimping, I've seen it. It looks like a little rope edge.

82
00:05:59,410 --> 00:06:03,610
That's a Sephardic legacy. It allowed families to keep a connection to their heritage

83
00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:08,250
right there on the dinner table, even if the world outside was hostile. So by the 13th century,

84
00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:13,390
you have this garden from the Arabs and this oven culture perfected by the Jewish community.

85
00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:17,090
And then the pendulum just swings hard in the other direction.

86
00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:22,350
The Christian reconquest in 1229. King John I arrives.

87
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:26,430
And this isn't just a political shift. It's a dietary revolution.

88
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:30,510
It is the era of pork. And it's important to understand this wasn't just about taste.

89
00:06:30,670 --> 00:06:31,790
It was a statement.

90
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:37,270
It feels almost reactionary. You go from a culture where pork is forbidden by two

91
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:40,950
major religions to a culture where it's like aggressively celebrated.

92
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:45,590
It was a dietary assertion of power. Absolutely. When the Christians took over,

93
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:49,010
pork became the dominant protein. It was almost a public test of faith.

94
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:51,530
I eat pork. Therefore, I am a Christian.

95
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:53,230
Which brings us to the Matanza.

96
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:59,250
The Matanza. Even today, you talk to older Majorcans and this is a core memory. It translates

97
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:03,910
to the slaughter. But it wasn't just about butchery. It was a festival. It was a communal

98
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:08,470
event where the entire village would come together to process a pig.

99
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:11,930
And because there's no refrigeration, this is all about preservation science, right?

100
00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:14,570
Making that one animal last for a whole year.

101
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:17,730
And that necessity is what gave us sobrassada.

102
00:07:18,090 --> 00:07:21,230
This is probably the most famous Majorcan food export.

103
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:26,490
It's a cured sausage, but it's not hard like a salami. It's soft. It's spreadable.

104
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:29,250
Why is it spreadable? Is that just a stylistic choice?

105
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:34,090
It's a climatic one. Majorca is humid. If you try to air dry a sausage until it's rock

106
00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:38,490
hard like they do in other parts of Spain, it might just rot first. So they used a very

107
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:44,190
high fat content and later on paprika, which is an antioxidant, to cure it while keeping

108
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:46,950
it soft. It's a brilliant environmental adaptation.

109
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:52,110
It's just amazing how these things we now see as gourmet, like a high-end sobrassada,

110
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:55,750
were born strictly from the need to not starve to death in winter.

111
00:07:56,050 --> 00:08:00,710
That's the story of this food, again and again. Same goes for dishes like Sopas Mallorquines.

112
00:08:00,850 --> 00:08:04,450
The name is so deceptive. It means soups, but it's not a liquid at all.

113
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:08,190
No, if you order it expecting a broth, you're in for a surprise. It's a brilliant way to use

114
00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:12,230
up stale bread. You slice the bread paper thin, you layer it with whatever vegetables you have,

115
00:08:12,330 --> 00:08:16,090
cabbage, cauliflower, and then you soak it all in broth until the bread just absorbs everything.

116
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:20,490
It becomes this dense, moist vegetable cake. It was fuel.

117
00:08:20,890 --> 00:08:24,330
There's another dish from this period that I think just perfectly summarizes the whole

118
00:08:24,330 --> 00:08:27,630
history we've been talking about. Llom amb coll.

119
00:08:27,810 --> 00:08:34,549
Ah, pork loin with cabbage. Yes, that is the history of Majorca on a plate. Let's bring it down.

120
00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:35,010
Okay.

121
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:40,730
You've got pork loin wrapped in cabbage. That's very rustic, very Christian, very reconquest.

122
00:08:40,929 --> 00:08:41,850
But the sauce.

123
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:46,170
The sauce tells the other side of the story. It almost always includes pine nuts and raisins.

124
00:08:46,390 --> 00:08:51,590
Pine nuts and raisins with pork. That is not a standard European flavor profile.

125
00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:56,130
It's the Arab ghost in the machine. The main ingredient, changed pork, became the star.

126
00:08:56,670 --> 00:09:00,670
But the palate? That love for mixing savory meat with sweet fruit and nuts?

127
00:09:00,670 --> 00:09:05,830
That survived from the Muslim era. It's a fusion dish from centuries before anyone used the word

128
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:10,730
fusion. So at this point, say the 1400s, the pantry is getting pretty full. Roman oil,

129
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:15,290
Arab vegetables, Jewish pastries, Christian pork. But if you looked at the table,

130
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:17,250
something would still be missing. The color.

131
00:09:17,410 --> 00:09:20,210
It would have been a very brown and green meal. Beige, even.

132
00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:23,410
And then 1492 happens, the discovery of the Americas,

133
00:09:23,610 --> 00:09:26,190
and the whole color palette of the island just explodes.

134
00:09:26,490 --> 00:09:28,510
This is the plot twist that changes everything.

135
00:09:29,050 --> 00:09:32,210
Ships start coming back from the New World with these botanical oddities.

136
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:36,510
Tomatoes. Potatoes. Peppers. Corn.

137
00:09:37,390 --> 00:09:41,330
It's actually hard to mentally separate Mediterranean food from the tomato now.

138
00:09:41,410 --> 00:09:42,730
It feels like they've always been together.

139
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:46,950
I know. But for thousands of years, there were no tomatoes in the Mediterranean.

140
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:51,990
No pamboli with tomato. No gazpacho. The arrival of these things was a shock.

141
00:09:52,410 --> 00:09:56,170
But Majorca, being an island trading hub, adopted them pretty quickly.

142
00:09:56,170 --> 00:09:59,950
And that leads to what a lot of people would call the national vegetable dish of the island.

143
00:10:00,530 --> 00:10:00,930
Tumbet.

144
00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:03,750
Tumbet is the perfect example of this New World integration.

145
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:08,570
Think of it like a Majorcan ratatouille. It's layers of fried potatoes,

146
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:13,570
fried aubergines, and fried red peppers, all smothered in this rich tomato sauce.

147
00:10:13,690 --> 00:10:15,870
It sounds delicious, but when you actually break it down...

148
00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:18,650
It's almost entirely American. The potatoes are from the Andes,

149
00:10:18,950 --> 00:10:21,350
peppers from Central America, tomatoes from South America.

150
00:10:21,790 --> 00:10:25,350
The only Old World ingredient in that main stack is the aubergine.

151
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:27,530
Yet if you ask a local grandmother today,

152
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:31,970
she will tell you that tumbet is the taste of pure ancient Majorcan tradition.

153
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:36,110
That just completely challenges our idea of what tradition is, doesn't it?

154
00:10:36,130 --> 00:10:39,510
We think of tradition as this fixed thing, this statue.

155
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:44,430
But tumbet proves that tradition is really just a successful experiment that managed to stick around.

156
00:10:44,730 --> 00:10:47,190
That's a great way to put it. Tradition is always moving.

157
00:10:47,570 --> 00:10:52,190
By the 17th, 18th centuries, the Baroque period, that experiment starts to get refined.

158
00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:55,890
We move from just pure necessity to celebration,

159
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:59,270
and ensaïmadas start getting filled with pumpkin jam or cream.

160
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:02,790
Recipes get written down. The food starts to have a little more fun.

161
00:11:02,970 --> 00:11:06,870
Which brings us to the modern paradox. We've got this incredibly rich history,

162
00:11:07,050 --> 00:11:11,310
but for most of the 20th century, the reality for most locals was still very much

163
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:12,750
cocina de pobre.

164
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:17,450
Absolutely. We have to be realistic. Until the tourism boom in the 60s and 70s,

165
00:11:17,450 --> 00:11:20,610
Mallorca was not a wealthy place. People ate Arrós Brut,

166
00:11:21,150 --> 00:11:25,510
dirty rice made with whatever meat scraps you had, liver, mushrooms.

167
00:11:25,630 --> 00:11:29,050
It was seasonal and zero waste because it had to be, not because it was an ideology.

168
00:11:29,390 --> 00:11:33,450
And then the tourists arrived, and at first that almost killed the local food culture, didn't it?

169
00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:38,090
It almost did. That first wave of mass tourism, they wanted international food.

170
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:42,490
Hotels served schnitzel because they thought that's what visitors wanted.

171
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,890
The local dishes, the stews, the sobrassada,

172
00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:49,110
were seen as peasant food you wouldn't serve to a paying guest.

173
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:52,470
But that has flipped completely in the last 20 years.

174
00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:56,690
A massive renaissance. Chefs started realizing they were sitting on a gold mine.

175
00:11:57,150 --> 00:12:00,530
They started reclaiming these dishes. They went back to the porc negre,

176
00:12:00,910 --> 00:12:05,530
the native black pig that was almost extinct because it grows too slowly for industrial farming.

177
00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:09,610
They brought back ancient grains, like sickness for the bread.

178
00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:12,410
And this ties back to that luxury report we looked at.

179
00:12:12,490 --> 00:12:15,210
They used a term I really liked. Invisible luxury.

180
00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:17,570
It's a perfect concept for the modern traveler.

181
00:12:18,130 --> 00:12:22,010
Luxury used to be about gold taps and marble lobbies, you know, showing off.

182
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:25,610
But according to the data, the definition has completely shifted.

183
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:31,590
Luxury today, especially in a place like Mallorca, is about silence, time, and terroir.

184
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:34,450
So the luxury isn't some complex French sauce.

185
00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:37,330
It's a tomato that tastes like it was just picked five minutes ago.

186
00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:39,770
Exactly. It's about emotional resonance.

187
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:46,330
It's having that farmhouse lunch in the Tramuntana Mountains, eating a simple pamboli.

188
00:12:47,130 --> 00:12:49,290
But you know, the oil came from the trees you're looking at,

189
00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:53,370
the bread was baked that morning, and the cheese is from the neighbor's goats.

190
00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:58,410
It's the story. The sources mention bleisure and slow travel driving this.

191
00:12:58,810 --> 00:13:03,210
Even business travelers are tired of the sterile hotel. They want a real connection.

192
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:06,270
And Mallorca's food gives you that connection instantly.

193
00:13:06,270 --> 00:13:09,390
When you eat that sobrassada, you're not just eating a sausage.

194
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:12,690
You're participating in that centuries-old ritual of the mantançes.

195
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:16,950
You're connecting to the land. And that connection, that's the new currency of luxury.

196
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:19,970
It's like a validation of all those original peasant ingredients.

197
00:13:20,590 --> 00:13:23,650
Turns out the farmers were eating organic, farm-to-table,

198
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:27,990
slow food a thousand years before they became marketing buzzwords.

199
00:13:28,170 --> 00:13:29,230
They just called it lunch.

200
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:33,970
But that's the beauty of it. The complexity was always there, just hidden in plain sight.

201
00:13:33,970 --> 00:13:36,890
So if we step back and look at this whole living archive,

202
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,990
what's the big takeaway for someone who might be visiting the island?

203
00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:43,670
My advice would be, don't just eat the food. Read it.

204
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:44,550
Read the plate.

205
00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:49,710
Yes. When you sit down for dinner, look for the layers. You see almonds or citrus.

206
00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:52,530
Think about the Arab engineers and their irrigation channels.

207
00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:55,210
You see a pastry with a hidden filling.

208
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:58,270
Think about the Jewish families preserving their culture in an oven.

209
00:13:58,670 --> 00:14:01,190
You see pork and cabbage. Think of the reconquest.

210
00:14:01,190 --> 00:14:03,490
And when you see that bright red tomato sauce,

211
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:06,170
think about explorers crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

212
00:14:06,430 --> 00:14:08,970
It turns a meal into a time travel experience.

213
00:14:09,230 --> 00:14:12,450
And it makes you respect the complexity of what looks like simple food.

214
00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:15,510
It's not simple. It's distilled history.

215
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:18,050
I want to leave our listener with one last thought

216
00:14:18,050 --> 00:14:20,830
that really struck me while going through the sources on global trade.

217
00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:26,230
We've seen how tradition just absorbs new things, right? Like the tomato and the tumbet.

218
00:14:26,510 --> 00:14:28,390
It makes you wonder about the future.

219
00:14:28,690 --> 00:14:29,050
How do you mean?

220
00:14:29,050 --> 00:14:32,770
Well, with the way we eat now, global supply chains,

221
00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:35,850
fusion cooking, new ingredients arriving all the time,

222
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:39,690
what will traditional Mallorcan food look like in the year 2100?

223
00:14:40,010 --> 00:14:43,850
What are we adding to the archive right now that will seem ancient in 100 years?

224
00:14:44,170 --> 00:14:49,390
That is a wild thought. Maybe some fusion dish that we think of as inauthentic today

225
00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:53,850
will be a protected heritage item in the 22nd century.

226
00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:56,650
History suggests that's exactly what will happen.

227
00:14:56,650 --> 00:14:59,230
Culture doesn't stop just because we put it in a museum.

228
00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:02,970
Traditional 21st century Mallorcan sushi, maybe?

229
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:06,330
So, sobrassada dumplings? Why not? If it tastes good, it tends to stick around.

230
00:15:06,430 --> 00:15:07,990
Well, on that very appetizing note,

231
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:11,650
I think I need to go find some toasted bread and a really ripe tomato.

232
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:12,810
Don't forget the garlic.

233
00:15:13,050 --> 00:15:13,350
Never.

234
00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:13,770
No.

235
00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:17,930
Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into the edible history of Mallorca.

236
00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:19,390
We'll catch you on the next one.
