Tomato Bread (Tapas)

One of the things that fascinates me the most about any subject, is history...roots...origin. Learning about a culture through its traditions. Finding out how a person or a place got its name. Reading about how a food or dish "came to be". I thrive on that stuff.

So, while I was already familiar with Tapas, when they were named our theme for this week's edition of Sunday Supper, I decided to dive a little deeper and find its roots.

Sure, I knew that tapas stemmed from the word tapar, meaning "to cover". I knew that they were "small plates" and that they are normally associated with Spain. I knew that they were normally served as a bite or two alongside alcohol. I knew that just thinking about them makes me long for a glass of sherry in my hand, just so that I could eat some serrano ham along with it. And I don't even drink plain sherry.
