The first paella is believed to be cooked by Valencian farmers. The farmers cooked the foods they have in their hands for lunch. It was made of rice and whatever was to hand around the rice fields and countryside: tomatoes, onions and snails, with a few beans added for flavour and texture. It is originally includes snail as they were cheap but rabbit and later chicken were added for special occasions. Seafood paella is the newest form of paella compared to the paella types with other meat sources. The original paella contains snails, not seafood.
