[Sca-cooks] RE: Basque Food

[agora at algonet.se]

My arabic friends tell me Paella is either Basque or Spanish, it's arabic! The word 
"paella" comes from "Baquiyah, which means leftovers! But in some parts of the 
Arab world the word is "paella". Byt my catalan friends the word come from "patella", 
a fryingpan in their dialect.
But according to my sources the origin of the dish is Valencia, They were made 
under a popular festival, the Fallas. And they use huge plates to cook in the street 
and invite everyone to share.
In Valencia, Catalonien, some of the paella is made with noodles and not with rice 
and it's called "fideoada".
Surely the basques make excellent fish dishes but they are done in the whole 
Mediterranean ara. The french Buillabuisse, a thick and reddish fish soup, it's one.

  Anyway off to the point of the intent of my message today, Basque
  food. 
Anyone know for sure whether Paella is Basque or Spanish? I know its
development has fallen to the Spanish cousine.
 I have made several and they are realy great crowd feeders. But I am
 trying 
to find actual documentable period recipees for them. I also realize
they may have flown under the umbrella as they were primarily a
peasant food for farm hands.
