The Dodo Bon Pan Café in the old section of Panama City, Panama, advertised a free tapa with your glass of wine after 3pm. My tapa was baguette toasts with a savory tomato based spread, possibly flavored with Maggi or soy sauce, topped with a rolled up salami slice and a green olive. The plate was garnished with fresh dill and rosemary and came with a salsa of pickled cabbage and onion (a Spanish style sauerkraut?). The red wine, at 14% you know what, was a good Argentine malbec. It was a somewhat expensive glass of wine, but it was a fine price when you factored in the tasty tapa. The place was small and cozy. Close to me was a young couple with their very old grandmother. She was thin, with totally white hair, and she munched on galletas, very plain biscuits. My heart melted.
