Ok....how would you describe the texture of paella....homework for my daughters cookery class......?

Question

something that sounds like a 15 year old would say

Answer 1

That would depend on what's in it. There are various flavors and sensations in a paella. They can be made of purely seafood, a mixture or just meat (usually chicken, rabbit and small cut pork ribs). So as you can see there are a variety of textures ranging from shellfish to meat with bones. The rice should not be too sticky, in fact it should be just cooked through and then cover the paella pan with a newspaper and let the rice absorb the moisture and steam. A lot of people like it to get really brown on the bottom, so that part is almost crunchy. Something a 15-year-old would say, I'd have to agree with crumbly and/or chewy for the meat and seafood in it, especially the calamares, which could be called rubbery even..

Answer 2

A 15 year old would probably describe the texture of paella as:

Crumbly

Answer 4

It is made of short grain rice, cooked long enough for the rice to be soft. a lot of starch is released and it is sticky. The liquid is thick (because of the starch).
