INTERNATIONAL: SPAIN AND SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES: Tapas or Appetizers



From Wiki:  A tapa (Spanish pronunciation: {ta pa}) is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine. It may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squid). In select bars in Spain, tapas have evolved into an entire, 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. In parts of Mexico, similar dishes are called botanas
