Basque Gastronomy

Food is such an important part of Basque life, with long lunches and dinners the center of many celebrations. Basque gastronomy has two main ingredients, the coastal seafood and the interior cuisine. The sheepherders of the American West also developed their own distinct dishes that are the main-stay of many Basque restaurants in the US.
