You can't judge food by it's aroma when being cooked! I'm sure a roasted rat with bubonic plague would smell quite nice if you didn't know what it was.
I admit my suggestion of Gibraltar was flippant; I haven't been there, but I recall somebody on this board describing the centre as 'a bit like Swindon'!
In any case, I foresee the following scenario this decade: Spain introduces massive austerity measures which causes the already high youth...
Sorry I don't understand that at all.
