Tapas Selections
The Italians call it antipasto, the Chinese dim sum, the Turks maze, the French hors d'oeuvres and the Spanish tapas.
But, unlike their cousins around the world, tapas are more than just appetizers. When savored at dinner time with a glass of sherry, a full array of these tasty miniature morsels can be a meal in itself.
The word tapas means lids or covers, and tapas were originally pieces of bread or cured ham placed on top of a wine glass to keep dust and flies out. Well, things have changed since then….
