Ham croquettes at the American Bar, Belfast
From croquettes to scotch eggs, these are some of the top snacks to have with your tipple of choice.
These are a mainstay in Spain and other regions as a perfect accompaniment with a glass of cider or cold beer for all the obvious reasons. While we often gravitate towards the potato-based variety here, the Spanish opt for a considerably more unctuous version with a rich bechamel sauce. Throw in some chunks of cured ham and you have yourself a stunning little deep-fried hand grenade of crispness and umami, which will pair particularly well with a pint of something cold and crisp — maybe an IPA such as Kinnegar’s Scraggy Bay, or a pilsner such as Staropramen.
