Tapas y Mas –Tapas and more
The word "tapas" is derived from the Spanish verb tapear, "to cover".
According to legend,the tapas tradition began when King Alfonso X of Castile recovered from an illness
by drinking wine with small dishes between meals.
After regaining his health, the king ordered that taverns would not be allowed to serve wine to customers
unless it was accompanied by a small snack or "tapa."
The original tapas were slices of bread or meat, which Sherry drinkers in Andalusian taverns
used to cover their glasses between sips.
This was a practical measure meant to prevent fruit flies from hovering over the sweet sherry.
The meat used to cover the sherry was normally ham or Chorizo,
which both are very salty and activate thirst.
Because of this, bartenders and restaurant owners began creating a variety of snacks to serve with sherry,
to increasing their alcohol sales. The tapas eventually became as important as the sherry.
All tapas can be ordered as “Singles”,
but we recommend 3-4 tapas as appetizer, or 6-8 tapas as main-course.
