Question

If a tourist goes to Madrid, which the tipical food that he does not have to miss?

Answer 1

Try all anguspm wrote.  I went to a place called Museo del Jamon (in the center of Madrid) & had the best paellia (not the original with rabbit but with crubs,  chicken, & safron)!!!  Delicious! Only remembering how it tasted makes me hungry,  but I am too far!!!

Have fun!!!!

Answer 2

Bocadillo de calamares... It's one of the typical and wonderfull things in Madrid

Answer 3

Go for "Tapas" at any bar. Try many at once.

Do not miss a Paella, "Callos a la Madrileña", Manchegan Cheese, Rioja wine, Ribera del Duero wine, "Boquerones" (fried anchovies).

Answer 4

If you mean the typical Spanish food that you can't miss when you're visiting , i would say all kinds of tapas... tortilla, huevos rotos, patatas bravas, ... they are all delicious!

Answer 5

There are some ideas on my website as some of the must trys as per the link below but if you want something that is pure Madrid:

Sopa Madrileño

This is a white bean soup with blood sausage and pork rind. Of course there are  the Spanish classics:

Tortilla Español (Spanish potatoe omlette)

Jamon (dry cured pig hind leg)

Chorizo (Spanish sausage similar to Salami but not spicy and with larger pieces of meat / fat)

Morcilla (Rice and blood saugsage)

The one that you don´t want to miss though is TAPAS!!

Hundreds of different combinations are available in small portions and you can do as the Spanish do every Sunday morning (1100-1500) and eat tapas free with eat beer or another drink that takes your fancy.

Personal recomendation:

"Vinoteca" on the corner of plaza Santa Ana! A fine red wine such as Ribero del duero or Rioja and Jamon "Pata Negra" (black foot)

Answer 6

Well most of the nicest things are mentoined already except

Gazpacho Andaluz (cold tomato-vegetable soup)
