I haven’t got a single favorite tapas order… what I love to do is, if I am visiting a brand new restaurant, to see what the folks round me are consuming. Are all of them consuming the identical one tapa? Which may imply it is the specialty of the home and I ought to get it. Or are all of them wanting on the bar and seeing what’s sitting there, and I ought to go and look and choose for myself? There are, in fact, just a few classics – tortilla española (thick omelette made with potatoes and onions), gambas al ajillo (prawns in garlic oil), patatas bravas (fried potatoes in spicy sauce), croquetas (croquettes with a creamy centre) – that you just would possibly need to strive wherever, to see how they’re the identical or totally different, however I believe it is all the time vital to strive the specials.
