Editing Paella (section)

=== Competitions and records ===

It has become a custom at mass gatherings in the [[Valencian Community|Valencia region]] (festivals, political campaigns, protests, etc.) to prepare enormous paellas, sometimes to win a place in the ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' book. Chefs use gargantuan ''paelleras'' for these events.

[[Valencia]] restaurateur Juan Galbis claims to have made the world's largest ''paella'' with help from a team of workers on 2 October 2001. This ''paella'' fed about 110,000 people, according to Galbis' former website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.paellagigante.com/|title=Paellas gigantes – Catering y paellas para eventos – Comidas gigantes|work=Paellas Gigantes}}</ref> Galbis says this ''paella'' was even larger than his earlier world-record ''paella'' made on 8 March 1992, which fed about 100,000 people. Galbis' record-breaking 1992 ''paella'' is listed in ''Guinness World Records''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2007/10/071030.aspx |title=Galbis's 1992 record listed on the Guinness website |publisher=Guinnessworldrecords.com |access-date=19 February 2010}}</ref>
