Nothing says Spanish cuisine like tapas. These bite-sized morsels – bursting with intense, zesty flavor have a name derived from tapar, meaning ‘to cover’ or ‘lid’.The exact origins may be hazy, but there is one story which we really like. At the end of the working day, farmers and laborers would retire to their local ‘tasca’ for a well-earned drink, which was covered by a hunk of bread to keep the flies away.
