When it comes to Spanish cuisine, paella is the first choice, which is an out-and-out local specialty and quite famous. Most people in Spain like paella very much. As we know, the Spanish started the history of the maritime fleet very early. But when going out to sea, sailors can often eat seafood, so they slowly developed a method of eating paella. People who have eaten paella will find that paella is super delicious, because it is a cauldron of mixed seafood. Rice is mixed with all kinds of seafood soup, which is delicious and arouses people's infinite appetite.
We just learned paella. Let's take a look at a special appetizer, that is Spanish snacks. This is a snack in the middle of two main meals, similar to afternoon tea in Guangdong, which can reduce the hunger when waiting for the main meal. This appetizer can be seen in Spanish restaurants, large and small, and it can be divided into hot dishes and cold dishes. Tapas are small in weight, but there are many kinds, so this is a bright spot in Spanish cuisine.
Let me start with a world-famous Spanish food, Liberian ham. This is typical Spanish food. People who have been to other countries in Spain will almost always taste Iberian ham, otherwise it will feel like a trip to Spain. The Spanish used the local black pig as the raw material of ham, so the ham was tender and chewy. Because Spanish ham is so famous that it is often out of stock, local Spaniards sometimes face the situation that they can't taste authentic ham.
