Taste and Flavor: Variations on the Paella

Abstract

Foodscapes in the Hispanic world are heterogeneous and conflicting and allow us to study how people think with food, using it to mark identities and establish power relations. Food is also related to memory and also generates a grammar. The reflection in this essay culminates with the case of paella, a non-existent dish, based on its history and a reading of a chapter from Los mares del Sur by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, a noted food critic and novelist.
