I just read this and thought it was too funny (amusing) not to share it you:-
Spain is meant to have more laws than any other country, ever. Perhaps it's all to give the funcionarios something to do. The system works, because most people ignore the petty rules, find a way around it, and get on with their lives. As the Spanish say: Hecha la ley, hecha la trampa.
A new rule is to do with the oil that is served in a jug in all restaurants and bars. Now it's to be supplied in cute little plastic packages to reassure the customer that it's a kosher oil and not something taken out of the chipper. So from now, it's the way forward, and to hell with the extra cost, packaging and trash generated. Why? The Government once again shows more concern for the industrials than for its subjects.
But the kicker I mentioned earlier?
Add a little bit of pepper, or garlic, a bay leaf or a guindilla to your oil and carry on serving it in a jug. It's now a sauce, or an 'aderezo para ensaladas'.
Probably jolly good, too.
