All about Tapas
The word tapa comes from the verb
tapar, which means to cover. Centuries ago, it used to be a slice of
bread which was put on top of a drink to keep out flies and probably
dust as well. Then some medieval and entrepreneurial bar
owner
had the brilliant idea to put some meat or cheese on the bread and
the tapa as we know it was born.
Tapas recipes
are according to the
taste and gastronomic traditions of each region. But the tapas most
often served are usually those including the many variety of
olives, dry nuts, as well as many kinds of cold cuts. Nowadays, the
tapa includes many other recipes for appetizers. In the Middle Ages
and during periods of economic hardship, those courses were
supplemented with bread. However, today, those courses are included
in the tapas world. Tapas recipes use a wide variety of
animal-derived products, such as meat, fish and eggs and
agricultural products such as vegetables.
