Thanks Ken. As I wrote in my piece the other day on paella (link in the first para of today's piece) there is lot of over-sensitivity in Valencia about the issue! There isn't really any good reason why you shouldn't put chorizo in paella - not that I could bring myself to do so!
Hi Andy.. I enjoyed your article, especially since we discussed chorizo in paella in our Spanish class yesterday evening. Our Spanish teacher - incidentally Catalan - pointed out that the people from Valencia are too sensitive and that she likes Jamie Oliver's recipe, too. By the way, we live in Germany, which borrows from other cultures' cuisines with industry, although it has it own very good food, and the local burghers would be actually quite proud if you wrote a column in praise of grilled ham hocks and sauerkraut.
