Seafood and vegetable paella made by Jeremy outside on the open fire barbeque.
Timo and Caoimhe sit down to enjoy and eat.
Jeremy told us the story of how paella is traditionally eaten that went like this:
Paella was originally cooked by the workers in the fields as a lunchtime meal. They would hunt rabbit and wild birds and simmer them in the paella (pan) over an open fire with rice in olive oil and saffron.
Snails were sometimes used, and a few beans added for flavour and texture. It was traditionally eaten straight from the pan, each person using his own wooden spoon, or with hands I am sure according to our new neighbour Louisa from Brazil.
