I also never get over full when I eat tapas or mezze. I hate feeling stuffed!<br /><br />I take your version of origins of tapas totally on board. I've also read that in some places they laid a piece of ham over the top of the wine - which doesn't sound terribly plausible as it seems to be storing up a whole world of pain!Marmaduke Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706968452963580739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26298373.post-51342743878015591722011-08-26T23:03:01.816+01:002011-08-26T23:03:01.816+01:00Just love this style of eating, particularly in th...Just love this style of eating, particularly in the summer.Lots of lovely little picky things, hot cold, warm, crunchy, melty with or without skewer or fork.Just lots of deliciousness washed down with beer or wine or sherry.On the matter of how tapas originated - may I offer another version.<br />Yes I agree something was needed to keep the flies out of your drink. Tapas, Spanish for cap or cover.A Terracotta dish is far too posh- I go for a slice of bread and then came the need for something to top the bread with so they introduced toppings for the bread which then became tapas????o cozinheiro este algarvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611828658246967972noreply@blogger.com
