This is the face of a woman who has been hankering after paella for the last few days.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Where’s my paella?” she asks, with her “Where’s my paella?” face.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It will arrive. It takes about 30 minutes to make. If you go to a not-so-good restaurant, they use cold cooked rice to make it instead of cooking it from scratch,” I explained.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t say I blame her, I was also hungry after a full day of walking, museuming and cathedralling In Sevilla. And we missed lunch. So this 5pm meal was a very late lunch.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The seafood paella finally came and it was really good and tasty. It had generous portions of fish, prawns, and squid, and even two small lobsters.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It had better be good. It cost me €34 for the pan for two. It was going to be one of our last meals in Spain so I didn’t want to let the wife eat something less than good.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not every meal needs to be expensive, of course. We’ve been eating in some pretty low-cost places and enjoying the food there too. Spanish food rocks so hard. Simple ingredients, fresh produce, great taste.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know, for example, that most of the olive oil in the world is from Spain? Yes, even the ones you buy in Italy. And Spain makes great olive oil. I’m not even an olive oil person but in Spain, I’m dipping my bread in that stuff all the time. So so good.
