It probably was in college when I learned what a Tapa was. Small plates of intensely flavored, mostly savory sometimes sweet, appetizers or snacks. My kind of food! Tapas are native to Spain and can be served warm or cold, depending on the recipe.
If you are a fan of charcuterie and cheese boards Spanish tapas are for you! Make a few of the recipes and make a meal out of them. Assign a recipe to different friends and have them bring them to a potluck style tapas party.
