In this post, I will share a little about my culinary adventures in Barcelona. I tried many different types of Spanish dishes. I enjoyed eating most things, tortilla patatas, gazpacho, salmorejo, boquorones, croquetas, pimientos padron, cecine, chorizo, jamon iberico, cecina and many more. I also enjoyed eating delicious paellas. But\u00a0fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0has been\u00a0the most delicious food I tried during my stay in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not know or heard about\u00a0fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0before coming to Barcelona.\u00a0I learned about\u00a0fideu\u00e0\u00a0<\/em>when I accidentally found a traditional Catalan food festival while walking randomly on the streets of the city. What a great coincidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0is a dish similar to the most famous Spanish dish, Paella. The main difference is that Paella is made with rice;\u00a0fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0is with noodles. Unlike some paellas with chorizos and seafood, I was told that\u00a0fideu\u00e0\u00a0<\/em>is only made with\u00a0seafood. The cooking process is also almost identical to paella. Large shallow pans are used for cooking the noodles, and various spices, including saffron, are added in the cooking process.\u00a0Some restaurants also add extra sauces (alioli) at the top of the noodles after cooking. Adding extra sauce is not necessary, but it makes the noodles creamy and tastier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to some legends I was told and read, the dish was invented in the early 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century on the coast of Valencia. Some claims that the cook on a fishing boat did not have sufficient rice to cook paella for the crew, so he used noodles instead of rice. Others claim that the captain of the ship was overeating the rice and finished the stocks, so the cook started using noodles as an alternative. The cook\u2019s trial was successful because the dish became popular in the entire Catalan region afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is harder to find\u00a0fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0than Paella because most restaurants do not serve the dish. If you find\u00a0fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0on the menu, I recommend ordering\u00a0Fideu\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0because it is tastier than paella, in my view.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
