Spanish Paella Parties
Birthdays are celebrated, patron saints honored and Sunday outings made complete by the famous rice dish. Many call it paellera- the term comes from the Latin patella, a flat plate on which offerings were made to the gods. By the 16th century the Castilian word paella was being used for a vessel similar to the paella pan.
