Wars have started over less.by by Guillermo del PalacioRedactor de BuzzFeed, España, by Luke LewisHead of European GrowthLinkFacebookPinterestTwitterMail Spanish Twitter is in uproar after Jamie Oliver posted a paella recipe that gets the national dish completely wrong.

Tasty though the dish Jamie Oliver has created may be, it's fundamentally not a paella. Jose @josejacas In Spain we call this "arrroz con cosas" and we think it's beautiful https://t.co/tbICvzdvo4 11:16 AM - 04 Oct 2016 Reply Retweet Favorite His recipe also instructs people to stir while cooking – which Spanish people say is something you should never do.

Alec O'Sullivan @aleixsalvans @jamieoliver @SrJimvill You're absolutely mistaken and your paella's an abomination. Get some callos, mate.
