<h2>Common Phrases</h2>
 
Food is an integral part of Basque culture, and Basque cuisine is famous for its unique flavors and techniques. The Basque Country is known for its pintxos, which are small, bite-sized appetizers typically served on toothpicks. Pintxos are often enjoyed with a glass of txakoli, a light, sparkling white wine produced in the region. Basque cuisine also features a variety of seafood dishes, such as bacalao al pil-pil (codfish in garlic sauce) and marmitako (a traditional Basque fisherman's stew).
 
Historically, Basque cuisine relied heavily on locally sourced ingredients, such as fresh fish from the Cantabrian Sea and vegetables from the fertile valleys. The Basque people have a strong connection to the land and sea, and many traditional recipes have been passed down through generations.
