I cook a cracking paella!” says Sharon from Billericay. No offence to anyone from the area so no need to troll. It’s just that Sharon lives there. And Sharon is entitled to her opinion. After all, she went to Magalluf for a hen-night back in the 80’s, so she knows what she’s talking about, and her paella still headlines at almost every dinner party she gives. Everybody loves it. And why not? But it’s as far removed from a traditional paella as Donald Trump is from Mars. (well, maybe not THAT far!!!) Yet, at the end of the day, does it really matter? As long as Sharon and everyone else enjoys it, who cares?
Arroz, by any other name...

The last paella I partook in, wasn’t exactly cheap, € 17 per person if my memory serves me correctly. The main point about a paella is that it’s generally shared between family or friends, something you can’t do with most of the pretentious rubbish that obviously suits your pocket and bank balance. You won’t be pleased to know that one of the best paellas I have ever been served was in Magaluf. C’est la vie !
Overrated sickly poor peoples food. Can't stand the stuff. People who know food like the french or italians wouldn't touch a paella with a barge pole.
