Pinxtos

The first picture below has two types of pinxtos in it. The top pinxto is smoked salmon with cavier and hard boiled egg. The other two are Gilda, which we made at the cooking class and every pinxto bar has to offer. It's only a few Basque peppers, one anchovy and one or two olives on a toothpick. It is one of the first pinxtos ever and was named after the movie Gilda because they thought it was as beautiful and attractive as Rita Hayward herself. The second picture is of Rita Hayward herself. The third picture below is of a pinxto recommended to us by a local, and it is only sirloin steak with some pickled bell peppers and sea salt. The fourth picture is of the Basque sausage called chorizo and two anchovy pinxtos, one with diced bell peppers and the other with a fresh blueberry sauce. The fifth picture is of a pinxto recommended to us by one of the locals and it's simply called mini-burger. It is Kobe beef done rare on homemade tiny buns served with a few banana chips. We also had some pinxtos that were not very good (not pictured). We are also not stepping near a scale to weigh ourselves anytime soon.
