Spain Cuisine
We all know that Spain’s football team is very good. In fact, Spain cuisine is also very famous.
Here are a few of the more famous Spain cuisines.
Spain Paella
Paella is perhaps the most famous Spanish dish of all. Authentic paella originates from the region around Valencia, and comes in two varieties: Paella Valenciana, with rabbit and chicken; and seafood paella.
Saffron gives the rice its color, and the base should be left to crisp into a mouth-watering black crust, called the socarrat. Spaniards only eat it at lunchtime.
Jamón
Jamón, or cured ham, is the most celebrated Spanish food product. Legs of ham were traditionally salted and hung up to dry to preserve them through the long winter months.
The best ham should be enjoyed in thin, melt-in-your-mouth slices on its own, with a little bread.
Spain Churros
Churros are a popular snack made from fried dough, cut into sausage shapes and doused in sugar. They’re a favorite at fiestas, or street parties, when they’re sold by roadside vendors. Dipping them in hot melted chocolate is pretty much the law.
Gazpacho
This tomato-based Andalusian soup is most famous for being served cold. This can be quite a shock for those who aren’t expecting it, but in the searing heat of a Seville summer, the attraction becomes clear.
Its principal ingredients, aside from tomato, are peppers, garlic, bread and lots of olive oil.
These are just some of the dishes in Spain, in fact there are many other specialties around Spain that are worth trying. In addition, Spain’s wines are also famous and can be enjoyed with food to add flavor.
