Well, it seems there was this savvy tourist who traveled to one of the finer Spanish cities, and found himself in a restaurant which catered only to locals. He was about to order his dinner when he saw another customer being served something not on the menu which looked absolutely delectable: 2 good-sized spherical cuts of meat.
He asked the waiter what that could be and was told about the nearby bullfighting ring, and how after every evening’s fight, the most sensitive and delicate portions of the bull are brought in to be cooked…
Excitedly, he returned the next evening and asked for this ‘speciality of the house’ -- but then was so disappointed when they brought out 2 rather paltry and pale globes.
“Excuse me, camarero, but why does this dish look so inferior to that one from last night?”
The waiter tried to answer as diplomatically as possible:
“Ah, but señor, sometimes it’s not the bull that loses the match!”
[gosh, how well my "spanish for gringos" language tapes are paying off!]
