Change “Origin: Spain, France” for “Origin: Spain” The whole article says so. Either from Mahon or from Valencia, it’s origin is demonstrated to be in Spain. France may have adopted and exported it, but the origin is Spain. It’s like saying than Pizza is American instead of Italian because it’s widely eaten in the US. 2804:7F0:B500:2925:3891:1E4D:2591:38E6 ( talk) 21:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply
