There’s nothing more synonymous with Spanish cuisine than tapas, the
tradition of eating small dishes as an appetizer, snack or in combination to
form a main meal of the day. The latter has become a growing trend worldwide in
recent decades, and that should come as no surprise to food-lovers: after all
what could be better than mixing and matching all the glorious taste sensations
of Spain for supper?
The word ‘tapa’ in Spanish means ‘lid’, and ‘tapas’ is simply its
plural form. There are many cited origins for the tradition of eating tapas,
and how they got their name, with the most romantic featuring King Alfonso X in
a starring role.
