Authentic Spanish Paella!! HUGE PAELLA + Market Food Tour in Valencia, Spain!

[@Nxtrs90]

Mark, as a spaniard, I'm extremely surprised by the quality of your tour. It's the first time that I saw a foreinger foodie that actually shows the amazing and rich cuisine that you can find in any corner of the country. You had an amazing guidance, you really went to some of the best "temples" in the country, like D'Berto, El Capricho or Etxebarri. You really shown the level of our product, amazing meats and fish, and one of the best seafood in the world. Also, a deep and old tradition that enrich every dish. So, I humbly thank you for that.

[@brothergrubenski2603]

Mark is really doing a great job . think the big problem is understanding Spanish food to even order it. Like the pinchos episode I’m dying to try the olive,pepper,anchovie pinchos. Although I like all these foods individually just would never chosen that. Now I’ll be dragging family around demanding we find somewhere that sells it 😂 The steak and seafood in Spain is just to die for. You get home and think what is this slop I’m getting here 😂

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much Nacho, really appreciate your incredible support. Completely made possible by the people we met along the way.

Amigo, your series of videos about Spain can be considered today one of the best compilations of Spanish gastronomy in the world. They are unique documents that should be preserved for centuries. Congratulations for the content.

As an expat living in Valencia (actually 100 m from the market ) I have to give kudos for this video. It really showed what food is about here and I love it .

Unfortunately not if you are an unemployed person, as Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe if not the highest in the EU. On top of that, salaries are not that high if compared to countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Belgium, GB, France, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland, etc. Although they are higher than in Poland, Czech Republic, Malta, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Baltic Republics, Greece, Portugal, Rumanía, etc. Productivity is low as in GB, hence salariés are lower that could be. Additionally, the rescue of private banks after the 2008's financial meltdown capped salary growth and consumption as huge amount of funds were allocated to the rescue of banks (i.e Popular, etc) and regional saving banks (i.e Bankia, etc). Having said that the country is amazing if you are a foodie, a tourist, a culture vulture or any other species roaming on earth. Spain should be in your bucket list.... Si o si. The quality of life index of Spain is 13 out of 36 in Europe in 2022, whereas countries as the UK ranks 17, Germany 6, Netherlands 3, lreland 20 and France 19. The full list is shown at www.numbeo.com, and other websites.

[@chmatacek]

How many countries did you actually visit to claim something this brave. Spain is literally one of the worst countries in Europe in terms of quality of life. Nordic countries, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden & Finland are at the top without any competition, followed by central European countries, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland. While I agree that Spain might have a rich history and some unique national dishes (like any other country in Europe), that's pretty much it. Wouldn't want live there God save...

As a Valencian living in Bangkok, i struggle to explain the essence of the true paella, as a dish and as an experience. I am thrilled by the good choices you made with the locations and you are very well informed about our tradition.

You need to see the video again. Totally different techniques. It also has very few spices.

We do like our chick peas also, in fact Spain's national dish would probably be a garbanzo bean stew with endless local variations (and, again, not a lot of spices)

Those butter beans are one of my favorite country cooking sides, especially growing up from the garden. Way better and different than green Lima's. We differentiate because Butter Beans we Grow are the purple speckled or heirloom "Jackson Wonder"... Same family, totally different flavors. Butter Beans cook up a deep brown tan color. We also eat the mature Lima's that are white but generally they're green and the flavor profiles are very apparent.

Im portuguese never had paella in my whole life, i thought paella was made with scrambled eggs and sausage, oh ignorant me... looks good.

[@gamerturniton3081]

I am so glad that you, Mark, are showing the whole world how paella is really made, and shut up all those people who think they know how to make paella. They are many in KZbin confusing everyone else. You, Mark, are undoing all the damage done during many years of promoting something they call paella when they mean risotto with this fabulous video of the real authentic paella, and not the bullshit you always find here at youtube. And I hope all those "offenders" take the videos down or maybe be warned of risk of false advertisement implications

The name of this dish came from an Arabic word of origin, because you cook one type for breakfast, another for lunch, and another for dinner, and there was no electricity, so the next day they mix all the meals in one dish to preserve the grace

[@MarkWiens]

Haha yes I did, thank you very much, would love to visit Barcelona again!

"Tomatoes so aromatic ", .....I love tomatoes, my favorite fruit. I'm convinced Mark loves everything...or tries to. We need more of that...trying and trying for the best. No judgements. Thanks Mark...
