If you use vermicelli it's called fideo here (in W. TX), too, and is generally 
a side dish. Made some night before last. J.

But basically, I think, the overridding theme of paella is the conglomeration of sea food with other (practically any other) added ingredients. The need for it to be served on a flat bread seems to be fading.

 The other necessary ingredient is rice. I've never heard of Paella over bread or noodles. I like Mary Thiesse's friend's comment:

If you serve Paella on a piece of bread to a Spaniard, and you tell them that is paella they would probably leave the table. 
 The first paella I ever had was in Baja California near Ensenada. It was spectacular, with all manner of seafood including tiny octopus. It also had chicken and chorizo. Yum!
