Main Entry: tapa
Function: noun Etymology: Spanish, literally, cover, lid, probably of Germanic origin; akin to Old English taeppa, tap: an hors d'oeuvre served with drinks in Spanish bars - usually used in plural.
The tradition of Tapas in Spain is believed to have begun as a necessary means. Bar keepers, in an effort to ward off flies, would cover glasses of sherry with a saucer or lid. In an effort to attract customers, these establishments would place a bit of food on this lid, and thus "Tapas" were born.
SeaBlue wants to carry on this wonderful Spanish tradition and offer items from around the world for you to sample. The small portion or tapa size allows you to sample many dishes, possibly many different cuisines all in one evening.
You have the choice of ordering tapas one at a time or all at once. Each dish will arrive at your table as it is completed in the kitchen for your enjoyment, therefore, not all dishes will arrive at the table simultaneously. This is the essence of tapas- to experience a multitude of different flavors, textures, and tastes. We hope you enjoy your culinary adventure.
