I Eat the FAMOUS Cocido Madrileño in Madrid

Hey all, Rob Martinez here. Today on Eating with Robert, I'm in Madrid to eat one of the most classic foods of Spain: Cocido. Cocido is a stew or soup made with garbanzos (chickpeas) and a ton of slowly cooked meats. It is, without a doubt, one of the most perfect foods in existence.
Btw - Thanks for subscribing to Eating with Robert. ;)
Casa Carola has been a staple of the Salamanca neighborhood of Madrid for over 25 years. Thanks to Chilo Rivera for allowing me to film and lending his time for an interview!

Your show gets better and better Rob. The amount of times I audibly said "oh my GOD" at the up close shots? Too many to count. Keep going dude!

I love learning AND yearning. Reminds me of feijoada kind of. Similar root I imagine?

[@EatingWithRobert]

I'm not sure if Feijoada has the same roots. In Spain it may come from the Arabs or Jews, actually Chilo mentioned to me in the interview he believes it derives from a dish called "Rotten Pot" (Olla Podrida). There is some evidence that a lot of pork was added during the Spanish inquisition to differentiate it from a very similar jewish stew (and for the Spaniards to prove they were now Christian). Another thing I cut out of the episode is me relating this to other well-known, slow-cooked stews like Pot-Au-Feu, Bolito Mixto, and even Oden in Japan. Feijoada falls into that category as well.

There are restaurants in Spain where you can eat cocido and then take a nap in the same building, cocido's nap are the best

Dude, that’s not the wrong way. That’s the Filipino way😂

[@Anthony-ob2lb]

Haha Spanish food is such overrated basic stuff with fancy names. Chicken noodle soup with a piece of chorizo. 😂 Deep fried mashed potato dipped in pureed tomato 😂 “Salmorejo” is tomato purée mixed with old bread and olive oil 😂
