Tapas

Tapas is the collective name for small, delicious mouthfuls of something savory, served with chilled wine, beer or sherry. It comes

from tapa, the Spanish word for lid - specifically the "lid" created by the slice of bread that an innkeeper would thoughtfully place

on top of a customer’s wine glass to keep out the flies and dust between sips. The Andalucians then came up with the idea of

balancing a morsel of something tasty on top of the bread to nibble on - a few cubes of cheese or ham - and a new Spanish

institution was born.

Eating tapas goes hand-in-hand with hospitality, friendship and plenty of good conversation, so tuck in, forget the cares of the day

and linger, Spanish-style, with your favorite people.
