"tapas," which is Spanish for "very expensive tiny plates of very little food."

***LOL! So true!***

Only in the self-absorbed U.S.

Go for some true tapa-hoppin' in the Iberian and you'll find it's way cheaper and WAY less pretentious in its original form.

Blue collar, working-class snacks in a grungy un-airconditioned side-street bar with a water glass 3/4 full of a sturdy house wine that doesn't travel, has a bite, and was tapped out of a cask into a pitcher that was set on the table by a Spanish senora with an easy laugh and a faded apron. THAT's tapas.

Tapas are fun and easy to make at home.
