  2. Ebilginog, has the answer, a person after my own heart.

       across Spain, served as a tapa, light lunch, or a dinner along

       with a salad.

    - Ensaladilla rusa

       Mixed boiled vegetables with tuna, olives and mayonnaise.

    - Gambas

       Prawns sauteed in salsa negra (peppercorn sauce), al ajillo  

       (with garlic), or pil-pil (with chopped chili peppers).

    - Pincho moruno

        A spicy kebab-like stick, made of pork or chicken meat. Its

        name means 'Moorish Stick'.

    - Patatas bravas

       Fried potato dices (sometimes part-boiled and then fried, or

       simply boiled) served with salsa brava, a spicy tomato sauce.

       Alioli is often served with it too.

       added paprika is called Zorza.

    - Solomillo a la castellana

       Fried pork scallops, served with an onion and/or Cabrales

       cheese sauce

    - Solomillo al whisky, or al güisqui

       Fried pork scallops, marinated using whisky, brandy or white

    - Tortilla de patatas, also known as Tortilla española

       (similar to frittata) is known as Tortilla paisana.

    - Tortillitas de camarones

        Battered-prawn fritters.

    - Stuffed Mussels (Tigres)

    After lunch time the floor of these bars is normally filled with hundreds of receipts, as you get one for every dish your order, each person normally 2-5 Tapas, you collect them and when you pay the waiter drops them on the floor. So in Spain a floor completely covered by garbage (but only paper) can actually mean that you are in a really good place:-)

  4. People generally go out for Tapas. Back then, there wasn't a popular fast food that is why people where thin back then.

    How long did it take for that person to type all that?
