I enjoyed several fantastic paellas at Los Caracoles in 1973. In fact, just before leaving Barcelona I checked my pack at the train station and went back for one more. I’ll never forget that place.

I think I asked you once if you remembered the Bar Texas, which is the only bar in Barcelona whose name I can remember after 50 years.

Yes! We did have that conversation! This was the one I remembered, but it turned out to not be the one you went to because this one was in Palma!

Heh, damn Europeans! They hate us, but don't hesitate to "appropriate our culture" when it suits them!

I love Paella! I even tried making it once, but I learned an important lesson:

You cannot package the stuff and eat it the next day at work for lunch after re-heating it in the microwave!

People will absolutely, 100% want to slit your throat and throw you off a bridge-it makes the entire place nearly uninhabitable due to the fish smell!
