SPAIN...THE
COUNTRY OF TAPAS!
Most Spaniards and the day's work with an apperativo,
enjoyed at home or at a local bar with friends or colleagues.
This unique Spanish way of sharpening the appetite traditionally
consists of a glass of chilled fine or manzanilla cherry,
accompanied by an array of little snacks known as tapas.
The word "tapas" originated from the practice
of using a piece of bread as a lid (tapa) to keep flies
off the wine. Tapas, which are eaten throughout the
evening and also before the midday meal, are endlessly
varied. Here at Alba, we are proud to say we make our
own Spanish ham and sausages. Try these home made specialties
plus a selection of hot and cold tapas, which will delight
your taste buds! Vino recommended! Buen Provecho! |
