Different wedding reception venues in Mornington are soon to be revived. Give it time and they will start seeing action once again. This perhaps is something to make Spanish restaurants in the country and the world over excited about. 

The good news is that the world is going to reopen. When? Not quite sure but it will.

Be it on the wedding circuit or any other celebrations, Spanish dishes are widely popular. Many people choose to serve Spanish-inspired meals for their guests to partake. Well, this comes as no surprise because everyone loves to have their fair share of that oh-so-good authentic delicacies. These dishes are mostly found and served in a Spanish restaurant in Mornington.

Which then poses this question: What contributed to the global proliferation of Spanish cuisine? What brought about its steadily increasing rise to fame? Well, let’s get into this, shall we?

Global Popularity

Spanish dishes have long been present in the entire world for decades, even centuries. As Spain colonized a good part of the world some 500 years ago, they left their culture and tradition that are still ever-so-present even until now. That includes their food influences.

However, it even became more widespread during an unfortunate (quite) recent event in the mid to the late 2000s (to be exact, in 2007). Spain has gone through a bad financial crisis which prompted many of its citizens to emigrate to other parts of Europe and the world.

This diaspora (of some sort) helped in making Spanish dishes even more popular. As these Spanish expatriates settled overseas, they brought with them the traditional way of preparing, cooking, and eating their priced dishes. As they made new friends and colleagues, they let them sample their traditional dishes.

As these colleagues and new-found-friends got to sample how savory and delectable Spanish dishes are, they simply can’t get enough of it. Soon, chorizos, churros, paellas, and other traditional Spanish staples became even more in demand. Many trooped to the grocery looking for Spanish food and/or ingredients. This prompted a call to increase the Spanish food item supply in many stores.         

World Famous Spanish Delights

Paella

The Paella perhaps is the most recognized Spanish dish of all. Most (if not all) authentic Spanish restaurants serve different varieties. The most famous would be Paella Valenciana and Paella de Mariscos (Seafood Paella). This savory rice dish is prepared the most traditional and intricate way using the Paellera.

The Paella consists of different kinds of meat (pork, chicken, lamb, beef, rabbit), seafood (mussels, shrimp, clams, prawns, crabs), vegetables, broth (chicken, pork, or seafood). For more information, head to the “Contact Us Events Venue in Mornington” page and ask if the Spanish restaurant or venue serves Paella.

Churros

Worldwide, the Churros is a favorite go-to snack. Anyone can have it any time of the day. However, in Spain, the Churros is widely consumed during breakfast. These lovely and delectable dough fritters are coated with sugar (sometimes infused with cinnamon and other spices) and dipped in rich and thick hot chocolate. No wonder the Churros became an instant hit! For the best Churros in Spain, visit Chocolateria San Gines in Madrid. They are open 24 hours.

Croquettas

Awesome little bite-sized fritters. Though little, the Croquettas can be addicting. One may not notice for having too much of it. It is that good! The most famous kind is called the Croquetas de Jamon or ham croquettes. These are small fritters that are lightly breaded and fried with bits of Spanish ham.

The Croquettas are a staple in many Spanish restaurants. It is usually found under the Tapas section of the menu. Caterers in different wedding reception venues in Mornington are sure to have the croquettes in their dishes one way or the other.
