tapa
Bar snack, Iberian
Tapa is a Spanish appetizer or snack, typically served in small portions alongside drinks.
The plural tapas has become the standard English form, referring both to the dishes and the style of eating: We shared tapas at the bar.
Tapas range from olives and cured ham to more elaborate preparations, and the word now appears in restaurants worldwide.
