The Adventure Begins!
I made it to Spain! After a lot of trouble like running to connecting flights and barely making it, to still not having one of my suitcases because it is lost somewhere, I have arrived in Valencia, España!
I’m going to get right into it….paella. The beautiful, wonderful, amazing food that Valencia is known for. It is a bight yellow rice that sticks together wonderfully in an amazing sauce. I have no idea what’s in the sauce but ill try to describe it. You take a bite and your mouth is filled with a slightly sour, citrus taste, but it mellows out with the rice. It slowly turns into a olive oil flavor, almost buttery. There are also butter beans and green beans to give it some more texture and variety. And then the meat they put in it is fantastic. I know some of you might not like to hear this but….it is rabbit. I have never had rabbit before today(I think) and I honestly can’t wait to have it again! Overall it tastes a lot like chicken but the first taste you get it a little different. It’s hard to describe, but I promise it’s amazing.
Everything that I have had in Spain so far has amazed me and its only my second day! I will keep everyone updated on the taste adventure. Maybe it will look so good you will come to Spain and visit…
I love paella! I make a vegetarian version, which doesn’t taste like chicken at all, but is very yummy! Enjoy!
