Spanish ancestry is pretty much generic Southwest American culture here-most of us haven’t had a relative who emigrated from Spain in a couple hundred years-or even from Mexico in our lifetimes. The tortilla is the only version of talau we have-many of us prefer the original corn ones, where those of anglo ancestry like the amercanized version made with bleached white flour-those were not served in our house.

My first husband had a friend from New Mexico whose parents were immigrants from the Basque Pyrenees-they owned a restaurant that served Spanish food most people had never tasted. I have a book of Spanish recipes-mostly from the Pyrenees, that the restaurant owners gave to my husband.
