The traditional gastronomy of Madrid is included within Spanish cuisine in general, and in particular Castilian gastronomy. Some of the most characteristic preparations are the cocido madrileño, Madrid-style tripe (callos a la madrileña), garlic soup, and desserts such as rosquillas tontas y listas, huesos de santo, the churros (prepared in the churrerías), the bocadillos de calamares, the patatas bravas, the chopitos, etc. The bars and restaurants give off this scent through the streets at almost any time of the day. According to some authors, Madrid's cuisine is a combination of fine dining restaurants, bars, and diners, of dishes prepared quickly and showing flavors accompanied by wines from the region. Many of the dishes that have the denomination "a la madrileña" originate in the bars and taverns of Madrid. Today it is not uncommon to see how foods from other cultures are installed in numerous streets, making the variety richer and opening the doors to exciting cuisine.
