A really valuable contribution to Stover's vibrant student body was made this term by our four 'short-stay' Spanish pupils. Never one to be backwards in coming forward, Mrs Machin (ICT) invited them to join her in the Home Ec. Room for Pa amb oli ('bread and oil'). This is a traditional food usually eaten at special occasions in Spain. It consists of Rye bread cut into slices; rubbed with a ripened tomato which has been cut in half. A good quality olive oil is then poured onto the bread followed by some salt with herbs.
It is optional to add Serrano ham, chorizo and cheese. The most common cheese to use is Manchego (Goat’s cheese). 
A few members of staff 'happened to drop by' in order to join in and were shown by the pupils how to create their own Pa amb oli. The meal was finished off with some lovely stuffed olives and red grapes.
