Bo Pan

Galicians are very literal when it comes to marketing or describing their products («it’s okay, I guess» is a commonly-​heard phrase); you wouldn’t see advertising or branding on the level of Super Bowl commercials. The name «Bo Pan» is one of these «only in Galicia» store names — it translates to «Good Bread». As a connoisseur of Galician carbohydrates, I needed to know whether Bo Pan lived up to its namesake.
The shopkeeper was such a nice woman; she had so much patience with the (kind of rude) girl in queue ahead of me. When it was my turn, I asked her if she had empanadillas de bacalao, because not that many bakeries in the neighborhood have them and I was experiencing a very severe craving! She said yes, so I asked for an empandilla and a magdalena to share with my friend with our afternoon coffee.
The crust/​pastry portion of the empanadilla was excellent — it had the doughy texture and flavor that an empanada ought to have. But the filling made me so upset — there was hardly any bacalao and the empanadilla was filled with air! I felt so ripped off! The magdalena, however, made my disappointment wane (if only slightly). It was lemony, not too sweet, but just a little too dry.
So perhaps the name «Bo Pan» is a little misleading due to my experience; «Just Okay Bread» would have been more accurate.
