That must be an interesting ceremony:)It is definitely unusual for Easter. And what are the dishes that you eat for Easter? Is it something special? specifically Spanish?

WE eat many different types of sweets. One of the most typical ones are TORRIJAS, that are bread, milk, sugar and cinnamon if you like it. Some people use red wine instead of milk.
And as we are a catholic country usually people don't eat meat on Friday i think but maybe the rest of the week as well. WEll, instead of meat, you eat fish and there's a special dish aclled POTAJE that is a casserole with white beans, spinach and cod. If you want any other explanation, just ask. :)
