The Mardi Gras event is running at Universal Studios Florida from February 6th to March 28th, and special for the event are tasting booths for countries around the world. At the Spain booth, you’ll find offerings such as wines, paella, and a charcuterie board, so let’s dig in!
Menu for Spain Tasting Booth at the Mardi Gras 2021: International Flavors of Carnaval
It’s so sad to see what Americans (and British as well) do with our food… I’m from Spain. Real paella never has chorizo. That is a mess. When it is mixed paella,in terms of ingredients,it is made from chicken and seafood like prawns/schrimp,mussels and squid. But never chorizo. Another thing,the “leche frita” (fried milk) does not even seem like that awful thing they did. The snaps show a fat and grassy deep-fried thick cake. The original has a slight fry and look light,not brown as if it has been burnt. On the inside it is milky,just like custard or icecream (similar to a molten lava cake),not thick. And again,they mixed cultures with the cheese and meats table. Mustard,grapes,and olives filled with Blue cheese? This is from France. Olives are never filled with anything but anchovies,though regular ones are the most common. The other things on the table are accurate,but c’mon,either Disney and Universal have to research more before messing everything up. They never take the time to see what is really our food.
