Smart man for not calling it Paella. Somebody did that a few months ago on this sub and got lit up in the comments

The literal worst commenters on this sub are the “actually this isn’t (dish)” people.

They can all eat shit and die while saying “actually this isn’t shit, it’s confit poopaldi”.

The lemon is for AFTER it´s done, don´t put it in there for the cooking man. Also fish AND meat is YUCK. Vegetables and meat, vegetables and fish, or one of them by itself. Also is a bit too busy, try to get all the rice under the broth, otherwise you will find cracking rice while eating. You have to be able to even it out.

That´s a load of bullshit for whoever told you that, the traditional paella dish is made of chicken and rabbit. So you can tell that to whoever complains about chicken in paella. Also, thanks for giving a go to one of the dishes of my country. We have hundreds of ways of doing it, in my area we make them full fish and shellfish, and some people wouldn´t call that paella, so don´t listen to the haters. :D

Did you forget to mention shrimp in the title? Either way, looks great, although as someone not used to tis cuisine, I find the combination of these different kinds of meats quite strange.

I would have just called it Spanish fried rice and let the comments roll in.

You mean Paella?

Edit: I didn’t know that has chicken on it then no, it’s not a paella.

Edit 2: wait no yes it’s a paella, paellas have chicken on it and rabbit sometimes, there’s the seafood paella too that goes with seafood only and no meatv

Ignore everyone - that's Paella by any reasonable standard and - most importantly - looks awesomely delicious!

Think I'll make it tonight now!

There are many types and variations of Paella depending on the type (senyoret for example has seafood) and the location where you order it. In the capital, Paella Valenciana has Garrofon, Baxoqueta, rabbit, snails and more. If you go to the south (meaning Alicante, not Andalusia), you can see it made with red Pepper which would be a crime in Valencia. However, it's never made with sausage.

That said, you enjoy your rice however you want. Spain loves it's food and we just love discussing it

Try to brush it off next time, authenticity policing isn't only rude it's almost always wrong.

Unfortunately the way Reddit works is the first few comments/upvotes swing the entire rest of the comments section. So if four or five of those pedantic jerks get here first, they set a snowball in motion and suddenly you have an entire thread of confidently incorrect takes.
