Righto. Fellow Foodies, let's play 'Fill My Paella Pan'.
I've dug out my old Paella Pan, it is enormous, well seasoned (going in the box with me as it holds so many Delish memories over the years), it's enough to feed everyone here plus seconds.
Your task if you're in the kitchen with me, is to throw into the pan everything that you would want in a gorgeous delicious paella.
Doesn't matter if its just 1 ingredient or a whole recipe. we will take the best from everyone and create foodie magic.
The only catch is, each ingredient has to be from a country that is not ours. List the ingredient and country when you post. Does not matter if we double up that just means the paella will be more exotic. Recipes can be random.
Ok aprons on, wine has been poured (don't worry, in my kitchen the wine cellar is constantly full, your glass will never run dry).
Let's Plaaaay 'Fill My Paella Pan'!

I presume you are joking as you have posted critical comments on this fish previously?
I stay away from paella these days. It is seldom made without chilli in the chorizo. But, if someone promises to have found a suitable chorizo for the dish, then yes, please.
You want a chorizo without chilli? What planet are YOU living on kay141?
Either you want chorizo or something called "sausage" made in NZ without chilli! YUCK!

Really? I can buy imported Spanish Chorizo with no chilli at OnTrays, much the same as I could get in Spain. Lots of paprika but no chilli. I can also get it at a Continental butcher who make their own.
