Twice I made the trek through winding Madrid streets to try for a table La Bola. A quaint neighborhood space, LA Bola is famous for its Cocido Madrileño, a sort of Spanish style pot-au-feu where meats and vegetables are boiled together and served in courses -- usually a flavorful broth or rice or noodle soup (as at La Bola I hear) followed by blood sausage, ham, chicken, pork, and potatoes, carrots, cabbage -- whatever flavored the stock. The combination may vary by the cook but garbanzo beans (one of my favorites) are a required ingredient.
For now my table at La Bola will remain the stuff of legend and I'll try again my next time in Madrid. Adios!
