chicken with chips, and served
with either water, beer or a
soft drink. By the look of the
both at €2.70; carne in salsa/
fiesta (tender meat in sauce
or pork cubes in a spicy marinade) at €5.20; and queso
asado (delicious roast cheese)
for €4.90. Three different
soups all cost just €2.10,
salads are priced according
to size, a whole chicken to
share is €6.50 and there is
fillet steak (€12.90) ribs for
€6.50 and entrecote at €9.
And that is just to give you an
idea: there is plenty more to
sample. The same takeaway
chicken on that brazier, not to
mention the delicious accompanying aroma, they were going
to go down a treat.
Further examples on the
takeaway menu are garbanzas (chickpeas) or fabadas (a
bean stew, often with pork),
menu is also available back
at La Orotava venue. So now
there are even more reasons
for visiting the market on the
TF5 near La Guancha – you
can stay on there after your
shopping for a good meal and
reap a further bargain! n
You can buy eggs galore, and
even a pot to put them in, but
there is not a chicken to be found
anywhere
The range on offer is simply
wonderful
You can even see artisans at
work
Plenty of fruit options too
