World Tapas Day

World Tapas Day, observed annually on the third Thursday of June, is an international holiday celebrating the small Spanish Tapa dish that is usually served with drinks. This year, it falls on June 15. Tapas may be served cold (such as in mixed olives and cheese) or hot. In some bars and restaurants in Spain, South America, Mexico, the United States, and a few other regions across the globe, tapas have evolved into a more sophisticated cuisine than one that is mundanely served with drinks. It can now be served as a full meal if desired. In some Central American countries, tapa snacks are known as ‘bocas,’ and in some parts of Mexico, it is referred to as ‘botanas.’

History of World Tapas Day

The word ‘tapas’ is derived from the Spanish verb ‘tapar,’ which means ‘to cover,’ a variation of the English word ‘top.’ In Spain, before the 19th century, tapas were served in posadas, albergues, or bodegas, which offered meals and rooms to travelers. Because few innkeepers and travelers could read and write, samples of the dishes were made available by innkeepers on a ‘tapa,’ which is a Spanish word for ‘pot cover.’

According to the book “The Joy of Cooking,” the first tapas were thin slices of bread or meat which sherry drinkers used to cover their glasses between sips to prevent fruit flies from hovering over their drink. The meat was normally ham or chorizo, both of which are very salty and activate thirst. This made bartenders and restaurant owners create a variety of snacks to serve with sherry, invariably increasing their alcohol sales. The tapas eventually became as important as the sherry. Tapas have evolved through Spanish history with new ingredients and influences.

The discovery and emergence of the New World birthed the introduction of tomatoes, sweet and chili peppers, which were readily accepted and grown in Spain’s microclimates, further contributing to the culture of tapas as we know it today. Since 2008, the city of Valladolid in Spain and the International School of Culinary Arts have celebrated the International Tapas Competition for Culinary Schools — an annual competition in Spain between global culinary schools to compete for the best tapa concept.

Una exquisitez vegetariana con sabor a morcilla. Receta rápida, sencilla y muy sabrosa de cómo preparar una morcilla vegana, con todo el sabor de la morcilla pero sin nada de carne, apta para veganos. 😋

[oh-yes-i-did-not]

Two things my Nordic ass surprised Spanish people with, by liking something they consider only a local delicacy:

-Morcilla de (name of a town) Yah sorry no, blood sausage is as much a thing in here as it is there. Finland has this thing called Black Sausage. And also, Finland has this thing called Rössy, but apparently we don't talk about that.

-Cabeza de Jabali/Queso de Cabeza Yeah also sorry, "head cheese" or alatoopi is also a thing in Finland. I'm so sorry.

And to be honest, I do like Morcilla much better than black sausage bc spices. But also, for the exact same reasons I like Finnish head cheese better than queso de cabeza bc it's all about the spices and the balance of flavours and sometimes less is actually more.

caturday april 6th 2024 - morcilla is 11!

Well okay, it’s actually her birthday tomorrow, April 7th, but as this is Caturday we’re starting the celebrations a day early. It’s hard to believe this still kittenish girl is 11 (she can now officially be switched to “senior cat food” along with Luna). Every day I’m so happy to have her in my life. Happy birthday darling girl! Morcilla shares her birthday with my beloved Azar, born 18 years…

morcilla is 10!

It’s the happiest of birthdays today because not only did Morcilla turn 10 (omg she’s 10!) but today we were also able to say goodbye to the dread cone that she has had to put up for the past couple of weeks since her surgery. I swear she hasn’t stopped grooming since it came off. And of course it’s extra especially happy because the lump removed from her tiny head turned out to be benign.…
