There is only one word to describe the paella in Spain, atrocious.
This is after having paella's in the iron Bound section of Newrak, New
Jersey.

Check a few ones out in the Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey.
http://www.iberiarestaurants.com/
http://www.goironbound.com/html/dining/spanish.htm
It has a sizable contingent from Spain, Brazil and Portugal. Most
would agree the paella there is better than what you get in Spain.
I've never had better paella elsewhere.
I even had feijoada in one of the Brazilain restaurant there. You
won't find too many Brazialian restaurants in the US. Out of those
even fewer serve Feijoada. The one I went in Ironbound does it only on
weekends.

That's if you don't know where to go in Spain or only go to tourist
restaurants.
I had great food in all parts of Spain, including paella, and I was
travelling on a minimal budget. Not to say that there aren't some very
good Spanish restaurants in the US, but I haven't found anything quite
up to the Spanish level.

Most of the Brazilian restaurants in the US specialize in barbecued
meat, and some only serve barbecued meat. I've had more diverse
Brazilian cuisine like moqueca and feijoada, but only in New York and
Miami (I assume you can also get it in Boston and Newark). Bahian
cuisine is almost impossible to find in the US.

I have no complain about food in Spain, actually I agree with you on
good food in Spain in general, with the exception of paella. As for
Bahian food, I am still looking for aracaje in the US. But in my
experience aracaje in Rio doesn't even taste quite like the ones I had
in Salvador, Bahia.

They need to be cooked at a high temperature to reduce the fat

In a tourist restaurant away from the part of Spain it belongs,
sometimes less than perfect. A Spanish restaurateur said the
same. But I have rarely had *any* "atrocious" food in Spain.
My most enjoyable arroz was in a little locals bar in the paddy
fields of the Ebro delta, a simple abanda. If they cant cook
rice, who can? Outside Spain people often stir the rice, making
it more like Rissotto.
In my experience "foreign" restaurants (include parts of Spain in

types?

Improper eating isn't what I really mean by "improper eating" as it
might cause obesity but it can also be eating that fails to provide
proper nutrition. One can eat foods that don't cause weight-gain
while also failing to provide proper nutrition.
I'll strive for greater clarity in future.
The formula should really read:
calories in >> calories out = excess weight (fat or obesity, etc.)

Vegetable-free meals are becoming so common that I often have some

not a good thing.

I doubt that I've ever had a full portion of the stuff at one sitting
in my life. I consider it, and other cola drinks, to be vile,
unhealthful, swill that ought not be available to any non-adult.
Nevertheless, at the advertisement for which you have to pay in
Atlanta, there are probably more than a dozen versions of the stuff.
I tasted many, if not most, of them and was astonished at the

Doesn't have t'take "a lot of time".
A few weeks ago I prepared about a litre (I guess) of lentils with
rice and froze the lot in portion-size containers. Warms up nicely
and is one of the best sources of protein on the planet.
I believe tofu is a good source of protein that can probably be
enhanced by combining it with something complementary.
[Tofo is a complete protein that doesn't need a complement.]
My corner grocery sells hot-off-the-spit chicken for about U$4.50 and
throws in shredded cabbage, green and red hot sauces, tomato slices,
carrots, and chiles jalapeños. I always tell myself to "save half for
tomorrow" but I always devour the whole thing at one sitting, maybe
two or three of 'em a month.
There are many inexpensive cuts of meat that are good sources of
protein. I particularly like chuck steak.
Also in the freezer is a whole buncha patties I made of ground turkey
that fry nicely to become tasty burgers.
I avoid prepared packaged foods (haven't bought any in memory) as
they're usually high in salt, sugar, and/or fat and aren't very
healthful. They also contain preservatives and other chemicals that
might not be good to ingest in considerable quantity.
My life-long diet has consisted mostly of healthful foods properly
prepared. Of course I eat junk food and stuff that contains a lot of
unhealthful stuff but it's rare. The advantage of rarely having such
foods is that they're an extremely enjoyable treat.
I'm not a food freak; I believe that eating a wide variety of foods
provides all the nutrition one needs. I'm an old man. I do not have
any problems with weight (my Body Mass Index is lower than 25), I
take no pills, have no ills (in spite of smoking for longer than
fifty years have lung capacity measured to be equivalent to a man
aged 21) have blood pressure well below any reported danger level, a
cholesterol count at the maximum of OK, and often hear young dancers
say they "hope I'm as energetic as you when I'm your age".
I attribute it all to how I eat. My only eating "problem" is that I
consume enormous quantities -- buffets lose money when I visit. I'll
probably die tomorrow.

A typical utterance from Onslow during his breakfast beer: I could murder a

a re-emergence of that appreciation.
