TAPAS

Tapas is an appetizer, but people don’t think of it as one. Tapas is a tiny plate of food to accompany dinks like wine, beer, and soft drinks. These are never served at home or in restaurants. They are served in bars, where people go bar-hopping and eat a lot of tapas with their drinks. Tapas comes from the word Tapa, which means lid. People thought that the plate acted like a lid on top of a mug or glass (Quote cliffordawright.com) to keep out the bugs and/or flies.

Tapas is grouped into 3 categories: 1: Cosas de Picar (Things to Nibble and finger food) 2 Pinchos (When a utensil is used to eat it) 3: Cazuelas (Little Dishes of Tapas that come in Sauce) Below are some pictures of Tapas
