paella (pah-AY-ah)? I'm not familiar with the episode, but that's a yummy Spanish dish.

Paella isn't in the form of a pie....its a rice dish with muscles chicken tomato shrimp and lots of other stuff.

paella is a spanish dish...is rice, seafood and ofcourse spices.... its pretty good just a little hard to eat........rice and seafood in the same plate (its all cooked at the same time)...the shrimp, clams, mussles, oysters, lobster, etc ....they r all still with the shells on.....mostly.......but overall a good meal if you like seafood....and no it is not a pie like dish.....

A saffron-flavored Spanish dish made with varying combinations of rice, vegetables, meat, chicken, and seafood.

it is kind of hard for me to explain the dish,......my mom used to make that dish at least twice a month. i grew up in the south coast of puerto rico...there was always fresh seafood available..

It's kind of like the spanish version of jabalaya, only with more seafood usually.

I believe Kramer's description was something along the lines of "it's an orgiastic feast for the senses"
