Portal talk:Spain/Did you know

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is not true that Paella comes from that. Paella means "frying pan" in Catalan/Valencian, and it comes from latin "patella". In fact, valencian people, where the dish comes from, say "arròs a la paella", which means "rice in the frying pan", clearly showing that the dish was called after the recipient, a clear case of metonimia.

Possibly the dish has arabic origins, but clearly the word not. See any ethymology romanistic reference for that.

[edit] The final "Did you know" is very evident

The person who doesn't know that Madrid is the capital of Spain, ¡is analphabet! Miguel303xm 19:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
