Most important today for this of you who are in Valencia: if going for a paella, do try the traditional Valencian one, which is not based on seafood but contains chicken, rabbit, butter beans, flat green beans, sometimes artichokes and maybe even a snail or three (helix aspersa, not the helix pomatia Burgundy variety), and of course a local round-grain rice such as 'bomba' or 'flor'. Marvellous!



I hearty recommend this dish at Masusa Paella Bar, which is in the Russafa area, just off Gran Via.
Yes. If you get it from a shit touristy restaurant that heats up frozen ones it will be wank.

I'm very jealous of all who have gone down. It was too complicated for me so I'll pay my fiver and watch from six hour's drive up the road.

Sat here in the pissing rain dreaming of pints of Cruzcampo in the sun and flamenco dancers . Enjoy it, very jealous.

Good man, a proper fan! Glad you're on the road to recovery (if not Valencia).

Same here, love paella especially if washed down with a few nice cold beers.

Didn't somebody say on here yesterday half of some place in the Mailbox had been reserved by the Villa? Obviously not ITK.
