I'm unaware of this controversy and won't involve myself, but never mind putting chorizo in paella, I'd put it in a chocolate milkshake! Love chorizo. Though I reckon Portuguese food is better than Spanish (less grease, more subtle flavours, hearty veg & fish).

In my defense, it is called a Spanish omlette in England! and also its name is tortilla española not just tortilla, which is, as you correctly said, something completley different

Love that Exhibit 2: The Oxford English Dictionary: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/tortilla Definition of tortilla in English: NOUN 1(in Mexican cooking) a thin, flat pancake made from maize flour, eaten hot or cold, typically with a savoury filling.

I really should look at least at the same page to see what other people have posted. I somehow managed to polish off one and a half with a plate of chips in Porto .

Most of the time I've been in Spain, the food has been below par and disappointing too, which is a shame. Thracian can be pretty hard going at times, but there's nothing wrong here. Depends if you're eating on the Costa del Sol, or anywhere in Spain that is not a tourist trap. Best food in the world IMO

foxile5 Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 This is a thriller. I felt sure that the Tandoori had it in the bag.
