What is the definition of Tapas?
I have personally never heard this term before and am curious as to what it means. It is a form of appetizers? If so, how closely are they related? If not, what is the difference between the two? Are Tapas commonly served in most areas or are they a more for a specific region? Where did this term originate? Is it even still commonly used to this day? Are Tapas considered to be a more expensive version of appetizers, or something similar? Lastly, what was the first item to be considered a ‘Tapa’? Any answers would be much appreciated!
