A great article came out in the Wall Street Journal today about tapas.  Tapas are Spain’s glorious contribution to the world cuisine.  Instead of ordering a full meal, tapas are all about ordering a variety of small dishes, each one a gem in a world of creative taste designs.  Wine, of course, is de rigueur. (Pardon the French when describing a Spanish delight.)

Tapas are served at places that specialize in these things.  The practice is a grandly social one of “tasca hopping”–going from place to place (tapa bar to tapa bar) to sample the tapas.  Do it with friends, and you end up with a delightfully full tummy at a fraction of the cost of a sit-down meal and with a whole lot more fun in the interim. 

Here is a link to this article, which is fun just to read! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703787304575075523479248834.html?mod=djemLifeStyle_h

Hooray for Spain!

¡Buen provecho!
