If you use noodles (vermicelli) it's called fideo (or something like that) in Spain. Never on bread.. and a true paella valenciana has snails in it. and short grain rice..

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!   Mark Minton http://home.infionline.net/~tbsamsel/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
