– caféTapas – in its original sense, the word tapa means a "cover" or "lid", and it seems to be used for an apéritif or appetizer because in the bars of Andalucia, southern Spain, it was the custom to cover a glass of wine or sherry with a small plate containing a few olives, cubes of tortilla (omelette) or small portions of serrano ham (dried, cured ham). These came compliments of the house, although nowadays tapas are rarely free, and in many bars there is a whole array of dishes, such as salads, meat balls and chicken pieces.
Gambas al pil pil – prawns cooked in a fiery chilis (guindillas), olive oil and garlic. Popular in Spain both as a starter and a main dish.
Paella originated in Valenciana, on the east coast of Spain and is now eaten throughout the country. The traditional version is cooked in a "paellera"(a large metal pan of large diameter with two handles) over an open wood fire. The secret of a good paella is the cooking of the saffron flavoured rice, which must be of the short grained Spanish or Italian variety. The amount of water used in cooking is all important.
The paella traditionally contains shellfish, chicken and vegetables but other variations contain eels, snails and green beans.
"Flan de huevos" or baked caramel custard is served up and down Spain where it is probably the most popular of sweets. Desserts are not served as often in Spain as in the UK and there is generally not such a wide selection.
