Tapas Recipes, Appetizers & Starters

Those tasty morsels served in thousands of bars around the country, have become so popular that Tapas bars have sprung up all over the Mediterranean and even further afield.
As far away as New York and even Moscow this healthy way of eating gains popularity Worldwide. We recently had some really fantastic ones in a Spanish Bar in Sydney NSW on a visit to our Kids.
Imagine yourself in a small bar in Seville listening to the Flamenco
singers, watching the passionate dancing, sipping a chilled fino sherry and eating a tapa - or two - or three or more.
The word tapa means lid or top in Spanish and, legend has it, they used to put a saucer or small plate on top of your wine glass to keep the flies off. Someone had the bright idea of putting a morsel of food on the plate and - the tapa was born!
