Correction: For the first tapa, Gambas al ajillo, you need parsley and not coriander. Sorry for the mistake and thanks to everyone for pointing it out in the comments 🙏
And where are the tapas in the video? I mean, I've seen:
- 1 RACIÓN de gambas al ajillo" (a portion of garlic prawns) that usually goes with parsley because the Spanish cuisine doesn't use coriander as a norm.
- 1 PINCHO de rabo de toro. The name is 'bull tail' though is just calf, male or female, and is terrible to hear they are homaging the bloody (literally), brutal and scurfy bull fighting.
- A traditional DISH (or, again, portion)
All of them with a fixed price, I mean you'll pay for it, while TAPAS ARE FOR FREE. Best places for tapas are in the southern Spain. The best worldwide famous PINTXOS (tx instead of ch, the sound is just the same) are in the Basque Country.
I'm gonna suppose that in the video for vegan dishes you won't show café con leche y churros (coffee + milk + churros)...
Eeeeexactly. Coriander has nothing to do with Spain.
@@oskarobit only male cows have tails. Female ones have udders.
You can add text to the video to let the viewer see the error, last time I remember when I made videos.
@@live_long_and_prospercows absolutely have tails
Spanish cuisine is one of my favorites. It's so deceptively simple, and so delicious. And Spanish wine! Delicioso!
I love Spanish foods in entire Western Europe, then Italian, French.👍😋 I only ate Tapas but did not order beers 🍺, my bad 😞.
Depends, because may look like it but really not so simple.
i love spain, best cuisine in the world!! greetings from serbia!! saludos
I love Tapas. You get a little bit of everything while you heavily drink. I don’t do tapas in America because the price of a plate cost half as much as an entree. In Spain when my buddy and I go tapa bar hopping, it was affordable. We spent more on the drinks than food even though our table is always full of food.
I loved my stay in Valencia. I would go to a pub, get a beer for 1.5 EUR and they would give you snack with it. Brilliant!
Cada vez que voy a España siempre regreso con unos kilitos de más de lo bien que se come.
I never knew about tapas until I tasted it in Mallorca, they are just delicious, dates wrapped in ham and some sweet N salty pork with onions my favourite
One of the best foods in the planet, great tradition.
thank you brother!
I love Spanish language, sounds elegant
Spanish is Latin but with the wrong grammar!
@@ermos4246 had you ever step into a school...? "English is just German with the wrong grammar".
Spanish a Romance Language or Latin Language group and is a branch of the Indo-European LanguageFamily. This means it becomes from Latin; just like French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese... And INSIDE SPAIN: Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Leonese, Asturian, Aragonese... I become from my parents, but I'm not my father with the wrong body.
The exception is the Basque, an isolated language, but its contact with common Latin gave some forms, pronunciation and words to the first Castillian.
@@ermos4246 jealous
I was just in that place yesterday. The regalitos were fantastic!
How much did you pay? :)
Nowadays everything is considered tapas. Tapas are very small portions of food given for free in most places with the drinks (in some regions you must pay for them). Next is "pincho",which is a bigger portion of food, with several ingredients and usualy it comes on top of a toast of fresh bread (exept when it´s a pincho de toritilla which means 1/4 of a whole tortilla) It´s never free. . Next in size would be ración, usualy with just 1 or 2 ingredients and it´s a plate full of: chorizo, cheese, boquerones, pulpo, or whatever other infrediente. Never for free either (though there are some places that giveaway raciones if you buy 10 beers for intance.) So for instance, if you have 1 shrimp and a pc of bread, it´s a tapa. If it´s a whole dish of shrimps, it´s a ración. And if those shrimps, are on a fresh toast, with lettuce, mayonesa, tomatoe, garlic bla bla bla, it would be a pincho
FYI
See the tortillas under the glass at the bar? Whole before sliced into tapa portions. Tapas are a great lunch or dinner, because get to choose a variety of mini portions. There were good ones in London. Authentic Spain's food restaurants.
Te quiero mucho, España. ❤💛
What's everyone's favourite tapas dish? For me it's Raxo, a simple dish of panfied pork loin, garlic, bell peppers and onions, served with potatoes.
I absolutely love tapas 😊
After watching this video,, I want some now :)
That garlic shrimp 🤤
Sounds wonderful
They taste better when they're out of focus, ya know.
Shade
It’s for your protection. If it’s focus too much, you would try to gobble up your screen.
maravilloso. Gracias.
Dios les bendiga
Coriander??? It's parsley (perejil)
Yes, you're absolutely right. Sorry, we made a mistake here. Thanks for the correction!
Washed down with great sherry, would be my favourite.
I like these dishes cuz it's all simple gradients to cook with and I heard in Spain's pretty cool to go to and there's a giant metal scene over there are here too
Lovely, wonderful 👍
Tapas in La Rambla Barcelona packed with customers. Voila delicious 😋.
In Spain if you go to a bar and ask for a beer or other alcoholic drink, they will serve a 'tapa' with it and they give you what they want or have on hand, could be anything from chips, some olives or a piece of bread with chorizo/ham or whatever. That is free. If you want a particular 'tapa' you have to order it and pay for it.
BTW a 'tapa' would never be in such large portions as seen in the video as tapas are served in small plates. Normally, if you want to eat those bigger portions you have to ask for 'una ración' (a portion), which will come in a normal sized or large plate. For example, if you ask for 'una ración de croquetas'' they would bring to the table a big plate full of croquets. A tapa would just be 2 or 3 croquets. If there's two people or more the best thing is to ask for 'una ración' of 3 or 4 dishes. It's great for bar hopping too as certain bars have their own specialties.
Huevos estrellados, the 'crashed eggs' are usually eaten for brunch or as part of a meal, and I wouldn't call the dish a 'tapa'.
Debo experimentar
Barcelona espérame con tus tapas 😋😋😋
Spain is the land of delicious foods....
Tengo muchas ganas de venir a visitar las Espana ,éste vacación en Marbella ,puedes ayudarme endonde comer tapas y otras especialidades de Marbella??? Complimenti de Italia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice
Vamos a darle gusto al gusto ...... con unas tapas y unas cañitas.
The best thing in life is to drink whenever you can 😆
Top man.
I just sudently feel funny on the reason the afternoon tea was invented, the Noble Lady think there is big gap between lunch and dinner time and afternoon tea is born, well for mere mortal like me the time gap is fill with working 😂
Creo que el origen de las tapas no es Madrid, aunque allí les haya gustado apropiarse de esa tradición: lo habitual son las tapas, esos bocados que acompañan un vino y que el camarero te ofrece de forma gratuita y su origen hay que buscarlo en Andalucía!
No creo que en Madrid se apropien del origen de las tapas, al menos nunca he oído tal cosa.
En Madrid se han comido tapas toda la vida.
Madrid no se a propia de nada, las tapas es como el flamenco, surge del pueblo de toda España, en todas partes cuando se bebía había que comer algo
I clearly never went to right places when I was in Madrid. I remember lots of olives and little with protein.
Usually in touristic & crowded places, the free customary tapa is very small and basic (olives, potato chips, a slice of bread with ham or chorizo...) while if you go slightly more off the beaten path (or better off, to not-so-touristic small cities and towns) you will find some jewels when you can have homemade tapas amounting to a whole meal "for free" by just ordering a couple drinks. Anyway, I'd say that to try most of the nice ones, you'll have to order raciones, which are not very expensive anyway and are perfect for sharing. The variant of "tapear" that most locals do is ordering 2 or 3 raciones (depending on how many people there is of course) to the center and sharing them all.
@@javihernandez2755 good to know for next time! Thanks.
Broken eggs? I see them Unbroken and the potatoes, boiled? No idea. Rabo de toro with cranberry sauce? Must be in England. And so on...
they are called broken eggs because before people eat them, they squish them and cuts them to mix them well with the other elements, if you don’t know what you’re talking about don’t comment 😂😂
Tapa ay "pulutan" pala ..yun pala origina ng pulutan...
👑🥇💪🏻🇪🇦
Lots of savory and salty flavors in Spain, but spend too much time there and it starts to get very boring and I need to pull out the TABASCO SAUCE.
Nosotros usamos salsa brava ,que está bien,pero no es Tabasco claro
@@pedroviriato9356 especially on the tortillas
Just go to San Sebastian, they'll take care of you
some items are not typical tapas
Looks good but I cannot stomach garlic. I know it’s very popular with many people but garlic is a complete turnoff for me.
Cranberries, peppers etc come from America, so these dishes are made from introduced vegetables.
Spain colonized the Americas. Peppers have been in many of Spain's dishes for centuries. Although, cranberries are not, they grow up north outside of where Spain colonized.
@@mzple yeah, brought from the Americas to Spain, when did Columbus 'discover' America, 5 centuries ago.
@@kaihuang4970 Obviously, but once a ingredient has been a part of a nations dish for 5 centuries, it’s an integral part of the national cuisine. Potato’s didn’t originate in Ireland but it’s the most important staple ingredient in the country.
The authentic tapas, the origin of tapas is Andalucía, Cádiz, the al ajillo for example is tradition of Andalucía, is andalusí food, the rabo de toro is Córdoba, Madrid unique apropiated the tradition of other Spain part.
But what a liar you are: The oxtail may be Andalusian but the origin of the tapas is not and in the golden century they talk about tapas in Madrid. Liarro
fy low or feel low? What say you? I say feel low.
Everything went well till the colour of the frying oil...
Ja, mit dem Koriander ist es nicht mehr wirklich Spanisch. So etwas sollte man rauslassen damit es alle essen können
Although not often, but coriander/cilantro is actually used in traditional Spanish cuisine - it depends greatly on the region and personal preferences...
@@DWFood Its connected to an imported food culture. The Arabs, who attacked Spain hundreds of years ago are to blame.
Now they even use it in Germany. Dont know why. It tastes and smells nasty. makes me vomit.
It seems to have originated in what is now Turkey.
Why is an Irish commentator calling prawns 'shrimps'? Why does he call red peppers 'bell peppers'? Is North American English compulsory for us all now?
I like pedos al ajillo
Wow but they seem super fancy... what about something basic
Would you like a glass of lemon water?
Not a big fan of the Spanish omelette. Cold or warm.
Garlick was almost burn. That taste is very bad.
No tienes ni idea. Ese ajo no se come, es para darle sabor al aceite.
Since when do they use coriander in garlic prawns ?🤮
what a stupid question, but long before you knew it existed
@@lucacardoza2533 not in Spain
@@susanastephens7156 ofc you would know ms. "stephens"
@@lucacardoza2533 yes I would since my family is Spanish
@@susanastephens7156 what does that matter if you know nothing about this particular dish 😂 i actually am spanish and live in madrid, probably one of the cities where they make it the best
This is ridiculous. That these tapas might exist in Madrid at certain palces? Sure.
That that is daily life? Nope
75% of what's shown in this video is not real.
The srimp al ajillo and egg rotos is classic tapas
hahahah You cannot go to Madrid for tapas, is crazy. Tapas aren't from Madrid
Incredible... If you want to eat "tapas" dont go to Madrid! In Madrid "tapas" never has been traditionals, simply Madrid, being the capital of Spain takes the culture of the another sides of Spain and makes it yours. If want classic "tapas" is mandatory you travel to Sevilla, Córdoba, Granada, San Sebastian, Cádiz, Málaga, Salamanca, or any place in Galicia. Much more better than Madrid, originals, with more quality and cheaper. In Andalucía most places serve them for free.
me amor tapaz
Gamvas a ajilio lol
As an american who has been to spain..i must say these spanish tapas from spain are not spanish enough! 🤣
I love watching bullfighters getting gored..its very satisfying..
Are you ok? Tapas are from Spain.
I thought they were chinese..thank you.
