Its ok to cook how you like. There are no rules. People that say otherwise are weird about food and many of them don't cook at all

I do, because my Mum taught me to do it for some variations of the recipe. She's from the South of Spain....

Uhm, a famous British chef once got death threats for doing this. So I guess that's a hard no.

We use chorizo in our Paella. Chorizo is a distinction factor between Catholic and Moori-Jewish communities in Spain. The Jews explicitly avoided pork in their dishes because it's not kosher according to the Torah, while the Moors also avoided pork because it's haram. The Christians and pagans however had no explicit religious restrictions.

Yup. I found out the hard way when I cooked a paella for some Spanish friends.
