Delicatessen4U, born from the inspiration of a young Spanish, outside his homeland, enjoyed seeing his friends and close easily eat the food he prepared. Starting by the famous "Tortilla Española" o "Tortilla de Patatas". The first known reference in Spain to the Spanish tortilla is in a Navarrese court document from 1817. Navarre is located in northern Spain. Legend has it that during the siege o
f Bilbao, the Carlist general, Thomas de Zumalacarrigui created the tortilla de patatas to feed his starving army because of its high nutritional value. It appears that after that, the tortilla spread throughout Spain during the Carlist wars and became a popular Spanish food. Following by the Exquisite Paella. A traditional rice dish of Spain, originated in the fields of a region called Valencia in eastern Spain. It is said that at lunch time in the mid-nineteenth century, workers in the fields would make the rice dish in a flat pan over a fire. They mixed in whatever they could find – such as snails and vegetables. Now, there are as many versions of paella; some may contain chicken, pork, shellfish, fish, eel, squid, beans, peas, artichokes or peppers. The best Paella always is cooked over an open fire in a Paella pan with medium-grain rice though. !
