Though far from being at a gustatoratoral zenith, it could be stated that it is possible to make the argument that the pabulum provided exceeded adequacy. It may even be tolerable to bestow the description of edibility to this cuisine - that which those in the know call "TagRag". More commonly known as "spagbol". All in all, a pleasant culinary foray in a quaint, orthodox...
