Dre Pao, a Canadian with more than 220,000 followers on TikTok, uploaded a video cooking a fruit paella using the tropical smoothie of the commercial brand that sponsors him as a broth. The video is just 30 seconds of seismic shock that caused shirts to rip, beautiful ladies to faint, volcanic eruptions of anger and forty-foot waves of violence.
The tide of rejection of fruit in rice came to bathe the shores of prime time television. The hare with chocolate; bacon and roses, lettuce with cream, and cod tripe with flowers from Pedro Sánchez in Bagá, Jaén; or Alberto Chicote's legendary tempura potato omelet are proof that in the world there are no good, bad, or crazy ideas, but rather brilliant or mediocre executions. It is impossible to do it as many paellas as there are as many real Paellas, there are bonfires and times when it can be called paella.
