Was Jamie Oliver wrong to put chorizo in Paella?

He was never the same after that.

And btw I am so impressed at how well mainland European's speak English, it really puts us to shame and makes me feel dumb. I suppose it's not exactly 'our' language, anyone is free to learn it.

its because English is better than their languages, we don't feel the need to downgrade

Title.

I feel much closer to UK than to Spain

Opposite for me. Hopefully I will move back to Spain soon!!

Because in Spain, Calamari (Calamar) is usually not calamar at all, it's pota. Pota is a similar squid type animal that has much more tender meat. It is cheaper to buy as well. It's considered trashy to eat it so every restaurant will deny serving it to you, but unless you are at a four star restaurant, you are eating pota.

Obliged. Just searched for pota and it turns out that it's the Humboldt Squid aka the red devil squid.

Gibraltar, eh? What's it like knowing that you'll never get your grubby little paws on it?

Triggered.

I was drunk last night and I can't delete this thread.

My apologies, this will never happen again.

Answers to questions are required or name change to Gibraltar.

The thread should pack its sombrero and straw donkey.... never mind.
What did the Spanish farmer say to its chickens?

Looking at some of threads on here i sometimes think that's a requirement.

My father stabbed somebody at work over an argument a few months ago here in Canada. He got a full discharge with the condition that he do anger management. That's my kind of legal system.

Err.... what?

I thought Spain was the one country that everyone's been to.

Doesn't really do it for me. Brother has lived on Gib for 15 years and mother has a home in Funkroll. Been a few times, it's nice but too hot in the summer.

I've spent more time in Ukraine and prefer it there.

Been a few times primarily to go to Chernobyl and Pripyat. Last time out I spent a long weekend in Kiev which was great.

Why do you hate dogs?

A lot of people I speak to at our local park seem to have rescue dogs imported in from Spain, as it seems you have a stray dog problem. Why? In the UK, you will see pretty much 0 stray dogs.

English or Spanish women?

I work in Madrid and my vote goes to Spanish women

You can't bail out now, you've got a list of questions to answer!

A colleague of mine had a stray dog from Portugal that they took back to the UK (obviously the legal route).
