Their cuisine – and ours

Sir , – So bookseller Edward Tobin found the food in 1970s Spain dull (Obituaries, May 3rd). He was not alone. Around that time a family I knew used to pack Lyons tea, white sliced bread and rashers and sausages when going on Spanish holidays. “We have to,” one of them told me. “The Spanish food is s***e.” Yours, etc,
