What are tapas? They are a gastronomic miracle that has its origin in Spain. This past Spring, our LS students who traveled to Spain had the opportunity to go to a real culinary school and learn from professional chefs how to make the most popular types of Spanish Tapas.
Tapas are said to have originated in southern Spain (Andalucia). The word "tapa" means a lid and in the past, crusts of bread or slices of meat were used to cover drinks (typically Spanish sherry) so that flies would not go into the drink. The idea of tapas evolved from that idea.
