>> And now to finish, I'm going to read you -- This is a short one.
I'll read in both Spanish and English.
It's called Tamalitos de cambray.
Tamalitos are wonderful, fantastic food in El Salvador, you know?
And in all Latin America, made out of maíz.
But these are very special Salvadorean.
And it has raisin and it has beautiful things.
One time, Eduardo Galeano and his wife Helena were visiting us in Mallorca.
And Helena is a very good cook and she said "Please, write to me a recipe."
You know? A Salvadorean recipe.
And so I said "Alright.
I'll write to you one."
And so I wrote this Tamalitos de cambray.
I'll read it in Spanish first and then in English.
Dice tú, Eduardo y Helena.
This is five million tamalitos, once when I wrote this so many years ago.
Now we are about six million tamalitos in El Salvador.

It says "Dos libras de masa de mestizo, media libra de lomo de gachupín cocido y bien picado,
una cajita de pasas beata, dos cucharadas de leche de Malinche,
una taza de agua bien rabiosa, un sofrito con cascos de conquistadores,
tres cebollas jesuitas, una bolsita de oro multinacional, dos dientes de dragón,
una zanahoria presidencial, dos cucharadas de alcahuetes, manteca de indios de Panchimalco,
dos tomates ministeriales, media taza de azúcar televisora, dos gotas de lava del volcán,
siete hojas de pito (no seas mal pensado es somnífero), lo pones todo a cocer,
a fuego lento por quinientos años y verás qué sabor."

There. I'll read in English.
I'll read in English.
It says "Five million tamalitos, for Eduardo and Helena who asked me for a Salvadoran recipe.
Two pounds of mestizo cornmeal, half a pound of loin of Guachupín cooked and finely chopped,
a box of pious raisins, two spoonfuls of Malinche milk, one cup of enraged water,
a fry of conquistador helmets, three Jesuit onions, a small bag of multinational gold,
two dragon's teeth, one presidential carrot, two tablespoons of pimps,
lard of Panchimalco Indians, two ministerial tomatoes, a half a cup of television sugar,
two drops of volcanic lava, seven leaves of pito (Don't be dirty-minded.
This is somniferous). Put everything to boil over a slow fire
for five hundred years and you'll see how tasty it is.
Thank you very much.
