What is a tapas?!
Answers: spanish word for appetizers- finger foods. Some restaurants are now drawing attention to tapas. Instead of ordering an entrée- you can order a bunch of tapas and share the tapas with everyone at the table. That way, you get to try more dishes.
Small little plates of appetizer type foods. They are usually found in Spanish restaurants. I love this place down the street from me that is called Tapas of the World. Yummy small plates of great food.
Tapas is not one thing
It's a style of Spanish cuisine where many small dishes are served rather than just one main dish... a tapas would be one of these small dishes.
My favourite is the Chorizo in red wine.

TAPAS is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold, such as mixed olives and cheese, or warm, such as puntillitas, Andalusian battered, fried baby squid. In the United States and the United Kingdom, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine; at Spanish restaurants, patrons may order many different small tapas, and combine them for a full meal.
All the answers are right. In Spain you go to a tapas bar at around 5 - 6 p.m. with your friends and have a couple of drinks and tapas before saying goodbye for the day.
