Tapas are a diverse range of snacks or appetizers that are widely popular in Spanish
cuisine. Although originally from Spain, the tradition of tapas quickly spread to Latin
America and consequently, the rest of the world. Often served in bars, they are prepared
with a wide variety of ingredients that range from olives, potatoes, and various cheeses to
squid, salmon, or sausage.

The word tapas comes from the Spanish word for lid, tapa. Its believed that the tapa
was a piece of bread or meat used to cover glasses of alcohol to prevent fruit flies from
hovering over the drinks. The meat used was usually a slice of ham or chorizo sausage,
and often made drinkers thirsty, due to its saltiness. As patrons ordered more drinks,
bartenders began serving a variety of snacks with their drinks.
