The barnacle's name comes from a 12th century guess that turned out to be wrong, and nobody ever bothered to fix it. That's most food history. The story outlives the explanation, and the explanation never needed to be true to stick.
Spain isn't one cuisine any more than "Asian food" is one cuisine. A story about goose barnacles or Galician octopus tells me far more about a place than another roundup of "10 foods to try in Spain."
The smaller the lens, the more universal the story often becomes!!
