Ash Wednesday. In Barcelona that means 40 days of donut holes up ahead. Every Catalan holiday is tied to a food. Awesome. Lent is fried and sugared donut hole season (aka bunyols). Inexplicably, these are only available at bakeries on certain days (I think Wed and Fri if memory serves). Lee and I are a little afraid that there's some kind of secret, highly religious ceremony you're supposed to perform with bunyols, because we get strange looks every time we dive into our package of bunyols before we even leave the bakery. Then again, maybe they're just not used to American levels of gluttony. Why wait until you get home to enjoy the doughy fried goodness?
