Oh wow a huge welcome to Let's Eat @for91days.
The first time I tried Paella was when I was about 8 and we were on holidays visiting Mallorca. It was awful! I didn't try it again for years but I have grown to love it and it is now my favourite spanish dish.
Thank you @eroche . Paella Valenciana is THE PAELLA, south of here we have the rice fields where the rice comes from. No seafood! If you're in town I'm happy to make you one :)
