Valencia's late-morning tradition of "almuerzo" includes a giant sandwich, peanuts, beer and plenty of conviviality., a 130-year-old restaurant in the Cabanyal neighbourhood of Valencia City, Spain, and noise levels have reached a peak. Waiters zip around bearing huge paper-wrapped sandwiches to tables strewn with peanuts and sipped beers.
As in many places in Valencia, there is no sandwich menu at Casa Flor."I will make you whatever mixture you want, you just tell me," Flor said, reeling off a list of ingredients from broad beans and cuttlefish to stewed peppers and blood sausages. A must-try is the sandwich filled with a juicy, sweet stew of mushrooms, raisins, potato fries, a fried egg and an optional sausage.
Baydal wrote that mentions of almuerzo in its current form eaten in a bar, cafe or restaurant appear consistently in texts since the first half of the 19th Century, with the advent of the industrial age. This was when workers in factories and offices started breaking for this big, mid-morning meal together.Famed Valencian author Vicente Blasco Ibáñez mentions workers from the outskirts of town pouring into the city with their almuerzo sacks in his novel in 1898.
