A HEAVENLY SPIN ON TAPAS STYLE FOOD
 What
Is Tapas Style Food?
The word 'tapas' is synonymous with Spanish cuisine. Spanish tapas
are usually deemed as a wide variety of small plates whether delicious
snacks, finger foods and appetizers or just a small portion of a
special dish in Spanish cuisine.
Although tapas ideas originated in rural Spanish taverns, many
countries, especially Mediterranean, have their own equivalent of
tiny starter-size dishes: hors d'oeuvres in France, antipasto in
Italy, maze in Greece or Turkey, and dim sum in China.
Unlike their cousins around the world, tapas are more than just
finger foods and appetizers - a tapa is not a particular type of
food, but rather a way of eating it. Tapas is best defined as the
tradition of enjoying small portions of different appetizers and
finger foods. In addition, tapas are neither starters nor a main
course. If you start eating tapas, you don't stop eating these authentic
finger foods and appetizers until you're full. But tapas are not
a main meal, composed from a collection of small dishes of finger
foods and appetizers either. Tapas is the way of eating less focused
upon eating than on bring people together and encouraging conversation
while enjoying this informal ritual.
The History Of Tapas Style
Food
According to Spanish legend, the history of tapas dates back to
the 14th or 15th centuries, when Castilian King Alfonso the Wise
issued a royal decree that insisted on everyone taking tapas style
food with their drinks to avoid fights. Tapa literally means a 'lid'
or 'cover'. In the early days of tapas, a slice of bread, cheese
or ham was given with your drink and placed over your drink.
Through the rich history of Spain, tapas tradition has developed
by integrating ingredients and influences from many different cultures
and countries and these appetizers and finger foods became more
and more diversified and elaborate. Eating tapas style food has
become a way of life in Spain. Diverse tapas ideas are the integral
part of Spanish culture and social life to such an extent that there
literary is a verb 'tapear' which means "to eat tapas!"
Nowadays tapas style food is served day in and day out in many
different finger food and appetizer forms throughout the world.
They can be as simple or as complicated as you like and you can
order virtually any finger food or appetizer that takes your fancy.
As long as it is still a 'little dish' served with your drink, it
is tapas. But whichever way you prefer these authentic appetizers
and finger foods - tapas style food is best served with an early
evening drink among friends and lively company.
