Fogueira bem salgada
Polly Evans sobre os cristãos-novos na Espanha da Reconquista: «Moors and Jews didn’t eat pork. Christians did. Publicly stuffing yourself with sausage and ham was considered rather a good way to prove your loyalty to your new faith and so save yourself from a toasty demise. The conversos would therefore take to the streets on their respective Sabbaths, Friday and Saturday, and openly eat pork in the hope of saving their bacon. » Trata-se de um dos poucos momentos com algum brilho num livro banalíssimo: It’s not about the tapas – Around
Spain on two wheels.
