@jviyfg, So true. He's quite good at the long dramatic pause after first bite, followed by an informed compliment. Paul never just says "wow," or "delicious!," he always leaves the host feeling that they gave him a new and exciting experience, something to think about.
To me, this is my substitute after No Reservations/Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain. Paul makes the places real, he's genuine and that is what sells this for me. I enjoy being along the journey of exploring new places, new foods and being respectful to those things similar and different.
Paul seems delighted and celebrational with every small detail. Such Joy. They can have a great time, or detour in the limelight, exchanging solid family for fluff. I wish he could recover his original life partner. I feel for those, whose choices cost them stability. Anthony, great talent, always seemed, Unfortunately jaded, seemed dark,troubled. I wish he had simply Pushed himself to go downstairs, Ordered massive amounts of food. Called attention to himself. Kept in view, surrounded, Stated clearly that he wasn't well, and stayed put in dining room. Charm and good looks can be powerful tools, But even tools must be used safely.
Walking through that street with the beautiful art tiles. All around him is graffiti, but those tiles remain untouched. So much respect and reverence for their home. But at the same time, the graffiti adds a touch of flavor all its own. Remarkable.
I'm not a Paul Hollywood fan but hats off to the researchers for this show, they've really done their homework and delivered authentic local specialities.
I am so happy I came across this series of videos! So far I have visited San Fransico, Ireland, Norway and Spain. Paul is a great tour guide! Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy them.
I lived in Madrid for many years and yes, the baking is astounding. San Gines (churros and their larger cousin, porros) on a Sunday morning, with the paper, a cup of cafe con leche, a cup of chocolate, and salty, crunchy churros. The best. I am surprised he didn't go to the monasterio descalves which is very near Mercado San Miguel. They are cloistered nuns who were given special rights to sell baked goods. You step up to a wide round wooden turntable in the wall, ring the bell, and their bakes of the day rotate around insuring that no nuns come in contact with outsiders. You choose your galletas (cookies), tortas (cakes) and say how much you want. The large turntable at last turns and there are your goodies. You put the money onto the table and off you go. Their biscocho Santiago, a dense olive oil and almond cake is the most divine thing I have ever tasted.
Maybe he didn't miss it....perhaps they wouldn't allow filming. They did mention something to do w/nuns baking near the beginning. He responded re seeing nuns w/flour all over there black outfits. Never know w/out asking first though.
There’s another brit... Richard Ayoade and his show The Travel Man, he ends up going to that monastery and got some sweet bakes from those nuns. And like u said, they exchanged money for baked goods thru a ‘turntable’🤔
Porros🤭, you mean Porras. Porros are joints🤦🏼♀️ San Ginés is for tourists and people getting home after a late night, any mobile churrería sells much better churros and hot chocolate.
Brilliant series, great locations and the cultural uniqueness of each city illustrates why sooooo many people around the world make Europe their number one holiday destination..... because it's not one destination :)
❤️❤️my goodness...just wonderful, love the way his whole face lights up when he's talking about something he likes! Those empanadas looked delicious 😘 Paul, you are something else 😊💞
@@SilverXeno In my opinion, sometimes the color is beautiful and striking, sometimes it is the shape of the eyes. It really depends on the person, but I do think Paul's eyes are a very striking shade of blue.
I wonder because of the virus, if the lovely shop, Antiqua Pastelleria, the oldest Pastry shop in Madrid, made it through the shutdowns. I hope so. I would LOVE to visit
I am very surprised that having been a baker for so many years Paul has never been in Paris or Madrid. Bakers should travel all over Europe to learn from other cultures. The bakes there are amazing.
i just found this show and I’m absolutely addicted. I’m learning a lot and plan on trying many of these regional bakes. Honestly though I feel so bad for our kids who will never know life without people wearing masks and fearing getting sick.
Having come across Paul Hollywood's videos, I'm now hooked on them! Today's is my favorite so far as 'I have been to Madrid too. He was so funny making those churros!
Hats off to Paul! My mum once made churros for a Spanish friend - her recipe was for choux pastry which was piped into hot oil, drained & dredged in icing sugar. Boy, went down well!! We couldn't persuade her to do it again.☹😋
His reaction to the empanada makes perfect sense. The apartment I lived in was above an empanada/bakery shop in Argentina. I had one almost every other day. I wanted them every day, but had to try to limit myself. I have tried and tried to find an empanada in the U.S. that compared to those and still haven't been able to find one... and this show finally explains it. The ones I had were more puff pastry vs. here where all of them that I have tried has been short crust. Just not the same.
Hi Tereza! We are glad to read that you are liking this show :) We are releasing the episodes weekly, so don't forget to keep an eye on the channel if you want to keep watching!
Once again may I say thank you so my dear friend,your channel is so terrific,I just loved how you explain.i really appreciate it.just found your lovely channel.God bless 🙏
So glad you liked Madrid! I fell in love with it and moved here 12 years ago, but have never loved their bake scene, maybe I’ve learned today that I prefer butter to lard? Now, Portugal, I can gain kilos there is a very short amount of time.
love these videos. I'd ask that Paul describe a bit more than the pastry in this one. What was in the filling, how did it compliment the lard pastry, where did the filling come from, develop from, custom, culture of influence. all that stuff would make this more "mouth wateringly wonderful."
Am I the only one who would prefer the way Paul poured the pastry mix and fried it up? It looks way more interesting than a giant spiral. It looked so good but everybody was giving him looks like it was horrific. It was like a Celtic symbol or Christmas ornament. It was way more interesting than a circle.
Well, this breaks my heart.....I cant eat pork at all (allergy), and I’ve known Spain is pork centric...but I had no idea their bakery products had lard in them! *le sigh* I’ll have to seek out kosher and halal if I want to travel there! I Loooovvvee this series!!!
Hungarians also use lard for pastries but I'm not sure if for puff pastries but that was the traditional way to do pastreies, I would say it's a grandma thing I assume because lard was always around the country houses.
Madrid is easily one of the most underrated cities in Europe.13:27. Churros dough is nothing like choux. Traditionally, it's equal parts flour and water, some salt and some olive oil. That's it.
,Madrid is constantly overlooked. I think just because the beaches are peoples first choice for a Spanish holiday and the super hot summers. I lived there for 10 years and brought friends to visit me from time to time and they were always blown away and I ( a Scot) was always proud to show them my adopted city.
I really don't like the overly sweet churros sold at festivals and from food trucks. This...I'd probably like very much, savoury with good chocolate? Yes please.
Well puff pastry is orgianaly made with lard, later is replaced with margarine or butter.But lard is the key for extreamly good puff pastry.Btw Madrid is beautiful.
Ahhh that empanada looks so good!! 🤤 We were in Madrid last year and didn’t get any. We did try the churro place. The chocolate was good! The churro was a bit hard for what I am used to eating back home.

He really is! He can be brutal on Bake Off but on here, he's wonderful!
I like how kind and complementary Paul is to people about their food in this series. Good vibes
Yes, he makes me want to watch and eat.

I love these shows with Paul Hollywood. I wish there were more.
Love all of the Paul Hollywood videos, he is so down to earth, so informative and takes us to so many wonderful places. Please keep the series coming.
Paul Hollywood you are so infectious! love watching you get excited about pastry like I do!
I watch not for food but for the host and the places. His accent is amazing. The way he says love.. It is really love.

I feel for those,

Anthony, great talent, always seemed,
Unfortunately jaded, seemed dark,troubled.
I wish he had simply
Pushed himself to go downstairs,
Ordered massive amounts of food.
Called attention to himself. Kept in view, surrounded,
Stated clearly that he wasn't well, and stayed put in dining room.
Charm and good looks can be powerful tools,
But even tools must be used safely.
I agree 100 percent ❤️
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for this delightful show.
As an old Hollywood, CA travel agent and natural foodie, this show is a fun respite spending so much time at home. Thanks Paul, you are a natural.

Almost every episode Paul is like believe it or not, I've never been to '...'. It's like he's never been out of the UK!
His father lives in Spain. He must have been there before. He's just overly dramatic - a showman.

This video not just showed many the variant of food but Paul introduced history and amazing Eroupe culture.
Paul cracks me up. On the British Baking show he can come across like a stern taskmaster.
putting a side the AMAZING CONTENT, am i the only one who thinks Paul has the most beautiful eyes in this world?
Paul is just all around hot, but his eyes are gorgeous.
That's what all those close up shots are for. ;)
I don't really get the eye-thing. They're...just eyes? Not saying others won't find them attractive, I just personally don't see it.

Haha I was wondering if someone had commented...
Lard also makes an incredible body balm!
One of the world’s loveliest and most laid back cities with awesome food 👍👍👍
@@paulhollywood8642 👍👍👍
I love this! Paul is not afraid of some good-natured ribbing. Who else wants him to start a tour company? I would totally take a trip.
love the places he visits and the authenticity of the food they bake, yes Paul does seem to know a lot but it is his trade ....
This series is very interesting and entertaining 👏
I absolutely love how Paul gets so happy 😊
Lard puff pastry, next on the Great British Baking Show!
I'm an American, born 'n raised in the South.
"Lard" is our butter, olive oil, magarine, non-stick source, and most of all, our 'seasoning'.🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

Yes to Manchego! Especially with a little guava paste and a marcona almond.

I used to go 3-4 times a year and made some great friends there a few years BC (before child). Loved that place
Let's go Paul...lol we are following you! ..👄❤👍🙂🌍
Lard is used in pie crusts too!
Kathy Hartje but I have never seen it melted and used in pastry....cold lard in pie crusts is wonderful.
i love Paul Hollywood on Great British bake off it's nice to see outside of a competition setting
He is so dreamy 🤩
France for sweet and Spain for savory is my food heaven.
Love watching his shows
I am growing to love Paul...took me long enough but, I think he is real? Maybe? He seems Honest and humble, I'm sold, back to my bread now.
I dont use lard when am making puff pastry, I use Crisco.
I never ever eat sugar anything but I love to watch you guy! Bacalao yum! Thank you both!!! Gracias Omar!
