Paella Gigantica
I made a paella for more than 200 Spanish housewives today.
Only joking, it was really made by two men and when they heard that I was the only foreigner there they told me to stir it and took my photo.

Re: Paella Gigantica
No they provided moniata roll and then choc ice. Normally we cook a paella in groups of ten and then take them to the hall but this year they organised the gigantica. As usual it was bedlam, 200 Spanish woman in a large hall all talking is not for the faint hearted I can assure you. We paid 2 euros each for everything and the town hall provide each member with a plant to take home.

I've done one for 60 but 200 would be pushing the boundaries!
You know it's a big Paella when the pan had four handles!
