Big Meats at Mercadona.


Something about the size, colour, artless arrangement and lighting of the meat products on offer made this large poster at the underground car park entrance of Mercadona look engagingly gross. I asked J & D to step in to provide scale.

Evidently they don't employ Home Economists in Spanish advertising, though I have to admit it is difficult to make morcilla (top left) look like anything other than a dog turd when you photograph it.  Full sized version.

 ¡Viva la diferencia! Vegetarianism is still regarded as some sort of weird perversion or mental illness by most Spaniards.

Do I see a spinkling of lentils?

mmm... no. Those are whole peppercorns, commonly used in the preparation of chorizo, blancas, longanizas, meat dishes,etc. as a quick squint at the full sized image will confirm.
