- and it seems to be 'fish heads' in fact.
I might skip that bit of the recipe.

just fish and seafood in general
whereas with eggs and peanuts and things I can see how even though I'm allergic other people might like them, with fish I just can't

this won't help you understand
but shellfish are almost all incredible. they look vile for the most part (not scallops) but they are so tasty.

meh
I was fed so much fish as a small child, and I had terrible skin. Took ages for the doctors to realise that I was allergic to the stuff they'd been so earnestly recommending I ate. I can vaguely remember the taste and not liking it, though my mother insists that I loved the stuff.

that's fair enough then
and mothers often remember things wrong. or not at all.

yeah
my mother claims it made me cleverer. Which is just wrong

I suspect fish only makes you cleverer if you started out borderline retarded

don't be so cruel to me :(

that wasn't a jibe at you!

well I didn't talk very soon
so maybe I was a borderline retard until the fish kickstarted me.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 13:59, Reply)

it seems unlikely
some people just talk later

they're for making the fish stock
which is quite an important part of the recipe. could buy some, but make sure it is good stuff and unseasoned

Do you think chicken stock would work?

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 15 Jun 2010, 13:39, Reply)

it would, but probably wouldn't be quite as nice and authentic

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 13:44, Reply)

It might work for the one with meat and shellfish.

yeah yellow food colouring is the real taste of spain.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 13:46, Reply)

does food colouring taste of anything?
is it as significant as the difference between fish and chicken stock?

the food colouring is almost certainly there to reduce the amount of saffron used to make it yellow.

food colouring does taste of stuff
if you put too much in cake it makes it taste bitter.

However, in paella I would think all the other flavours would make it unnoticeable.

I would've thought so
I don't think I've ever used colouring in anything
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 13:54, Reply)

Precisly.
Although saffron taste yum, and tumeric don't.
So just enough to colour and not taste.
I plan to do the meat one, plus the more socially adept seafoods.
