    Tapas suck. What is appealing about spending 80 bucks and still being hungry?

    Tapas tip #1.

    You don't have to spend $80 for tapas.

    Good luck out there!

    Well, when they gave me some in Spain, it was...rather, erm,...spicey's not the word, but it was pretty strong stuff. We also had cheese that had an after taste that rocked you down to your boots, and that ham that they leave out to dry until it turns to leather. No wonder we had so many beers, had to swill it down somehow.....
    no sushi for me thanks...I'll get a bad belly.

    Tapas is a plural term, so your question should really be 'what are tapas'. There are a number of myths about what tapas is all about. Here are just a few:

    What Tapas is Not

    -Tapas is not a particular type of food. Anything can be tapas - paella, croquettes, ham and cheese on toast, truly anything. As long as it is small and served with your drink (either free or at a surcharge), it is tapas. Read more about free tapas in Spain It doesn't even have to be Spanish - in Granada there are a number of Morrocan bars that offer couscous, falafel and kebabs as tapas.

    -Tapas is not a starter. If you start eating tapas, you finish eating tapas, and you don't stop until you're full.

    - Tapas is not a collection of small dishes brought out on a platter and eaten as a main course. The Spanish have a word for this - 'tabla'.

    From what I can gather, tapas is essentially like eating appetizer plates for dinner. Small plates, big flavours, good wine. Done.

    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.
