To paella or not to paella...

One of the big famous dishes in the Andulucia region of Spain is the paella. It is a rice dish that has whatever else the chef wants to throw in it. Very popular here. But each place is a little different. However, it looks like most of them are seafood (since this region is known for its fresh fish) and with seafood comes eyes. Not sure why, but seems Europeans want to take their own heads off their fish. Yuck. So, I've been a little scared to try one because I don't really know what I'm going to get. Well, tonight I found a nice tapas place for dinner (with an English menu) and decided to try the paella since it would be a tapas portion and I would order other food just in case I hated it. For less then 3 euros, not a big deal. But wouldn't you know, 2 minutes after I ordered the waitress came out to tell me they were out of paella. And it was only 9:30...very early for Spain. So, it appears my venture into the world of paella will have to wait another day...
