"Tapas"
The food that we taste here in America as “Spanish” is far from the authentic Spanish food. The food of their culture is full of hams, sausages, and cheeses. A common thing to do is to go for tapas. These are enjoyed in bars all over Spain. People normally eat tapas in the evening, either before or after an evening meal, but not as the main meal. Tapas are snacks that you eat while having a drink at the bar. Each bar specializes in its own unique snacks, or tapas, and it is usually worth going from bar to bar to sample each one. Even though they are now to be found in homes and professional restaurants, tapas have maintained an informal spirit through their name. If you ever plan a trip to Spain, I highly suggest to dip into the authentic cuisine of the Spanish culture. Try going to a local bar before dinner and enjoy a casual conversation while eating some tapas.

Yeah, so called Spanish food in america does not compare to the food else where. In high school, we would have parties where two people would cook foreign foods and bring them in and we would try it.The spices are completely different. a
