Pau Torres Paella!

Jeez that is the most unappetizing paella I’ve ever seen. But at least his garden is pest free.
I know - how do you burn Paella!

You're supposed to burn paella - the bottom is supposed to be black and crunchy, the socarrat

Looks like he's done it properly with snails and everything. Double thumbs up for Pau.

Paella is one type of food that has never done it for me.

No doubting his footballing ability but the rigours of the premier league at times have left Pau found wanting. The physicality and pace are two areas against some he has struggled
I think this was suggested by people as a concern before he signed.

If he's coming up against Haaland tomorrow and Antonio next two matches it will be good test for him.

Torres is, in my opinion, a fantastic player, and Emery will work with him to address any areas where he may be lacking as well as provide instructions for other players to provide positional assistance.

He's only going to get better.

There are some proper heathens who don't know what a proper paella is. ;-)

That is almost a Paella Valenciana but he'd get a yellow card for the red stuff (peppers, are they? Not allowed). Snails are accepted.

It looks fine. Apart from the bits of uncooked white rice that were not immersed in the stock.

When he first posted that pic I went on to Google and looked up Valencian paella, it looks pretty standard. Stick to your roasties, babs.

The 3 most popular foods that appear in almost every major city in the world are Italian, Chinese and Indian. I am often surprised at the lack of Spanish restaurants in similar places.
Why is that?

There is no worldwide modern Spanish diaspora as there is with those other nationalities.

Aren’t you supposed to burn paella?  The bottom should have a crust.
