The Balearics are of course not only part of the Catalan region but also part of Spain, and it is noticeable that many of the foods and dishes popular in the islands echo, albeit under somewhat different names, those of Spain. Thus, to take a few examples, bunyols (Mallorquin) are buñuelos (Castilian Spanish), doughnuts; arros brut (a winter dish of rice with rabbit and other game, snails, and vegetables, well spiced) is the Spanish arroz brut; pan-cuit is the bread and garlic ‘soup’ known as sopa de ajo in Castilian and familiar in the south of France and elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
