Are You Ready For Fideuà, Paella’s Lesser Known Sister?
When one thinks of Spain, the image of a steaming paella often dances through our collective minds. It's practically a culinary postcard from España—a cliché. But hold onto your forks! Upon touching down in Valencia, some of you might be shocked to discover that what we've been calling Paella all this time is actually called "Arroz a la Marinera"—a delightful mix of rice, saffron, and seafood. But how about the "real" Valencian paella? Well, that's a different dish, loaded with rabbit and snails and eaten only during the day, ideally on or near the beach, surrounded by family. Oh, and the rice? It must be super al dente. Culture shock. I know.
