Feel the pintxos

I wrote this about 565 feet up in the Seattle space needle, constructed by 50 handpicked iron workers who earned $3.92 per hour. My was I high, unlike last night when I received a $30 bill for a glass of not so special Rioja and an amount of food I could of fit into a 35mm film case. Following my ill informed Seattle style pintxo selection, I was still peckish and resorted to pointing at a regular's choice. Three little buns upon a rectangle plate (one of many shapes), bursting with shredded pork. Jennine then informed me the tuna version was better and her favourite to boot.

W2N2- I don't think I saw these on the menu. What are they called?
P Jennine- Pork and tuna sliders...

Too late, I'd spent the best part of $20 dollars on carpaccio of vegetables and a Liz Hurley styled bocadillo, nothing like how they were described. Nevermind, I'll be down later to try the tuna slider, as the pork one was sooooo good.

PS. It's not really worth going up the Needle, Smiths Tower has similar views, is cheaper and better looking.
