March 27th is the annual observance of National Spanish Paella Day. A rice dish from Spain, paella has become very popular and is known around the world. It originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain.
At lunchtime, workers in the fields would make the rice dish in a flat pan over a fire. They mixed in whatever they could find – such as rabbits, snails, and vegetables. Later, for special occasions, chicken was added. Paella has spread to every region of Spain, as well as worldwide, using almost any type of ingredient that goes well with rice.
There are many versions of recipes of paella. Key ingredients are saffron and olive oil. Saffron is an essential spice that also turns the rice a beautiful golden color. (Info here)

Paella started as such a humble, filling dish much like Shepherd's Pie, jambalaya, and chicken and dumplings. But in recent years it's become a much more sophisticated and gourmet dish that can be found on the menus of high end Spainish restaurants and the prized dish of many chefs and home cooks alike. I've enjoyed it many times, and it's never tasted the same, but always delicious.
Thanks Elsa. I wonder if there is a national lasagna day?

I will look up all the national food holidays! I just found this link "The Complete list of annual holiday foods for restaurants".
Here is the "Food and Beverage Holidays". This list has the Spanish Paella Day on it. You don't even realize who you asked do you? Now I have to start thinking of what I can do with these holidays. Maybe another story or fun facts.
