I´ve been asked several times lately what my favourite tapas is I say, yes I know it´s shallow and evasive, but I don´t have one particular favourite. So I thought it might be fun to do a post with several of my favourites, giving me time to think, which is another reason for the evasiveness, being put on the spot like that makes me panic.
Panic goes something like - Tapas? Favourite? Do I have one? Which is it? What´s it called? Is it that stuffed red one? Or that one that´s thicker than Gazpacho and orangey-er, whatever its name? No it´s that fried little something or other, isn´t it?
So denying a favourite helps me breathe and think. This post´ll probably take me days!
Of course these are from the commonly found tapas, not the posh or local or leftover variety.
