History: Tapas are not a particular kind of food, but rather represents
a style of dining known in the Spanish culture. Tapas can be just about
anything in small portions, from simplest to most elaborate, depending on
the chef's imagination. This style of dining originated in the open-air
taverns of southern Spain, in the Andalucia region, in the 19th century.
Originally the tapa was a slice of cured ham or sausage placed over a wine
or a sherry glass, covering it ( tapas is derived from the Spanish word
"tapar," which means to cover), and served compliments of the
house. Spaniards would go from tavern to tavern to socialize while sampling
different tapas. As tapas became more elavorate, the Spaniards would then
often choose their favorite tavern by the quality of its tapas.
