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.
