Caperberry and Fava Celebrate World Tapas Day
Travel to the flavours of Spain right here in Bengaluru. Enjoy World Tapas Day by celebrating the joy and pleasures of eating the multi-cuisine typical offering of Spain on 16th June, at Fava and Caperberry.
A day spent sampling tapas is an unbeatable way to experience Spanish culture and savour the charms of its bars and taverns. Tapas are an exquisite, varied, and choice variety of appetisers in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold {such as mixed olives & cheese} or hot {such as chopitos, which are battered-fried baby squid}. Over time, tapas have evolved into an entire, sophisticated cuisine. This culinary speciality was first enjoyed in the 17th century, and today can include delicacies such as the very finest and juiciest acorn-fed Iberian cured ham, the traditional potato omelette, or exquisite seafood, and even miniature haute cuisine specialities prepared in tiny quantities in the form of tapas.

History of the Tapas
There are several stories about the origin of tapas, which are a part of the folklore:
One legend is told that King Alfonso X, El Sabio or “The Wise One,” made sure that Castilian taverns serving wine always accompanied it with something to eat so that the wine would not go straight to the client’s heads! Another story claims that while on a long trip, the King had stopped to rest in the town of Ventorillo del Chato in the southern province of Cádiz, and he ordered a glass of Jerez or Sherry. There was a gusty wind, so the innkeeper served him his glass of sherry covered by a slice of ham to prevent the sherry from getting dirty with sand in the air. The King apparently liked it, and when he asked for a second glass, he requested another tapa {which translates to ‘lid’ or ‘cover’} just like the first.
