TURKEY, ARTICHOKE & TOMATO TAPAS
Tapas (
Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtapas]) is the name of a wide variety of
appetizers, or
snacks, in
Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed
olives and
cheese) or warm (such as
chopitos, which are
battered,
fried baby
squid). In select bars in Spain, as well as some parts of North America and the United Kingdom, tapas has evolved into an entire, and sometimes sophisticated, cuisine. In Spain, patrons of tapas can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal. In some Central American countries such snacks are known as
bocas.
The serving of tapas is designed to encourage conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them.
Also, in some countries it is customary for diners to stand and move about while eating tapas.
