I was quite hungry after having roamed around the old part of the city<br \/>\nfor a while, but I was being too picky as to where and what to eat.  I<br \/>\nwanted to eat outside, somewhere that had a prix-fix menu that fit my<br \/>\nmood.  My pickyness was irritating me to no end, so I finally cajoled<br \/>\nmyself into agreeing to sit down at the next empty table I found at<br \/>\nthe Placa Reial, where I was as I was carrying on this internal<br \/>\nconversation.  That ended up being the Restaurante Taxidermista, not<br \/>\naltogether a bad choice.<br \/>\nThe main reason why the Restaurante Taxidermista was not a good choice<br \/>\nwas that it has a very limited menu, a few appetizers, a couple of<br \/>\nsandwiches, maybe some seafood stuff I glanced over, nothing much or<br \/>\nmuch varied.  I could have done better elsewhere. Still, there I was,<br \/>\nand there I was eating so I ordered a portion of <em>pa amb tomaquet<\/em> (E<br \/>\n1.75), literally, &#8220;bread with tomato&#8221;, a dish consistent of (French<br \/>\nstyle) bread brushed with a generous amount of olive oil as well as,<br \/>\nwell, fresh tomato.  It sounds simple, and I had meant to make it when<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/catalunya\/\">I cooked Catalan food<\/a>, but it is such a Catalan specialty that I wanted to try it.  And indeed the dish is no more and no less than the sum of its ingredients, it tastes just like you expect it to taste<br \/>\n(though perhaps fresher, given that we are more used to having cooked<br \/>\ntomatoes on our bread), and that\u00b4s pretty good.  I enjoyed it.<br \/>\nI also had a plate of <i>butifarra<\/i>, two Catalan sausages with sweet sauteed onions<br \/>\n(E 4.30).  The sausages didn\u00b4t look that great, but the onions were<br \/>\nnicely caramelized (clearly with the help of some sugar), and the<br \/>\nsweet and hearty flavors went well together.  I also enjoyed it.<br \/>\nAnd that was it.  Really. I did have a small coke (E 2.30) and got<br \/>\nsome Italian ice cream on the way home, but that was it for my first Barcelona lunch.
