怎麼能錯過各式各樣垂涎三尺的Tapas
結果引起路人側目的是我們居然點了滿滿一桌...
A day spent sampling tapas is the ideal way to experience Spanish culture and discover its enchanting bars and taverns. Tapas are an exquisite, varied sample of popular regional cuisine. You can share dishes and enjoy a broad selection of products. All the taste of Spain in just one meal, and usually at very affordable prices.
傳統的西班牙餐廳大部分都會有Tapas，即下酒菜。西班牙人由於正餐吃得很晚，午餐大約下午兩點之後，晚餐大約十點。Tapas就是在正餐前提供人們可以一邊喝酒聊天一邊填點肚子的小菜。此類的Tapas比較常見的有Patatas Bravas 炸馬鈴薯，Pulpo a la Gallega 炸章魚，Pimientos de Padron 炸青椒及馬鈴薯炒蛋等等。這些Tapas都會擺在吧台，所以旅客可以看著點菜，其實十分方便。這種tapas的份量都不大，因為其本意是下酒陪趁用，不過其價錢也不貴，所以如果想要以tapas解決一餐，多點幾種配杯啤酒，也不失為一種好選擇。
Typical dishes and avant-garde cuisine
Tapas can also be presented and served in a number of different ways. There are pinchos (the simplest - served speared with a toothpick), banderillas (on skewers), montaditos (on pieces of bread) and cazuelitas (more sophisticated, served in miniature earthenware pots with seasoning and sauces to add personality). This last presentation is usually chosen for typical dishes from different regions of Spain, including, of course, paella from Valencia, fabada (sausage and bean casserole) from Asturias, callos (tripe and chick-peas) from Madrid and a host of different fish dishes.
Modern cuisine also has its place in the world of tapas. The basics remain, but with innovative presentation. Spanish omelette sorbet, goose liver paté casserole, king prawns with chick-peas, gazpacho with lobster… these are just a few examples of tapas created by famous chefs that have gone on to be popular in their own right.
There are many drinks that form the ideal accompaniment to tapas: beers, soft drinks and vermouths, white or red wines, even speciality wines such as “cava” (sparkling), and “finos” or “manzanillas” (dry sherries). Wherever you may be in Spain, in any bar or tavern, you will always find a barman or waiter who will be happy to advise you on how to get the most out of these culinary delights.
