   I smile at the culture shock of my first Vilar visit, when i first tasted a newly laid egg and milk still warm from the cow. Señora Carmen gave her sick chickens aspirin and fiery moonshine called aguardiente. She had no bathroom, so we used to go to Rosamari's house for showers and a flush toilet. The village paths were quagmires of mud and cow dung. I learned to ignore the clouds of flies settling like locusts on the table. My ear picked up some musical tones of Gallego, as Señora Carmen does not speak Castilian Spanish. I loved the crooked yellow doors hanging on frames bent into crazy angles by the centuries. The rain in Spain, by the way, falls mainly in Galicia, which is as green and misty as Scotland. Festas start at midnight to the sound of Celtic bagpipes called gaita, and the human population is low enough to leave plenty of room for ghosts and the supernatural. A driver, stuck behind women buying fish off a peddler's van, shrugs and says, "Here we live without hurry."

   "Gloria has worked hard on this cocido."
   
   "No meal could be a purer expression of Vilar's terroir since the whole thing was produced within a few dozen meters of where it will be consumed, by people who have been eating cocido in this room for generations. This is no time to worry about calories. In Vilar, cocido is more than dinner. It's a ritual verging on sacrament, a labor of love in a pot."
   
   "Señora Carmen has avoided veggies for nearly a century, but clearly she's none the worse for it. She had a tomato once, at...
