Tapas
A tapa () is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine. Tapas can be combined to make a full meal, and can be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as ''chopitos'', which are battered, fried baby squid, or patatas bravas). In some bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe, tapas have evolved into a very sophisticated cuisine. In some Central American countries, such snacks are known as ''bocas''. In parts of Mexico, similar dishes are called ''botanas''. History The word "tapas" is derived from the Spanish verb ''tapar'', "to cover", a cognate of the English ''top''. In pre-19th-century Spain tapas were served by ''posadas'', ''albergues'' or ''bodegas'', offering meals and rooms for travellers. Since few innkeepers could write and few travellers read, inns offered their guests a sample of the dishes available, on a "tapa" (the word for pot cover in Spanish). According to ''Joy of Cooking'', the original tapas were thin slices of bread or meat wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
