SC - "paella" originally means 'pan'

[Thomas Gloning]

Eden kindly looked up "'The Spanish Heritage' by Alicia Rios & Lourdes
March" and reported:

<< Paellas are named for the pan, (from the Roman Patella as Thomas
mentioned) but the dish is possibly a descendant of the rice dishes of
muslim andalusia. Originally called 'arroz a la valenciana', the name
fairly quickly changed to 'Paella valenciana'. >>

The patella point was mentioned by Bear!

I am very much interested in the events, that are reported with
"Originally called 'arroz a la valenciana', the name fairly quickly
changed to 'Paella valenciana'.". This is very interesting, because up
to now, nobody really knows how such changes work ("the name fairly
quickly changed to 'Paella valenciana'"). The name does not produce
changes by itself. Rather, the speakers prefer other expressions over
time (they call "paella valenciana" what they called "arroz a la
valenciana" earlier). But do we know the details?

Do the authors give some instances of somebody calling the dish "arroz a
la valenciana" and "Paella valenciana". When and were did this happen?

Do they (or any other source) mention:
- -- original texts that describe a culinary preparation which
sufficiently ressembles the preparation of paella;
- -- original texts where the expressions "arroz a la valenciana", "paella
valenciana" or even "paella" are used to refer to the dish, we now know
as paella;
- -- original text passages that indicate that there is a connection
"pillaw"/"paella" and possible ways of influence?

Thanks again Adamantius, Bear and Eden,
