The Spanish practice of going out for tapas-called el tapeo- had its humble beginnings long ago, and ironically, involved empty plates. Widely thought to have gotten its start in Seville, the bartenders would cover- or tapar- wine glasses with a small plate in order to protect the drink from fruit flies. Soon they took to placing a simple slice of ham on top of this plate, an addition which naturally appealed to bar patrons. Seeing the possiblity of attracting more customers, the bar-owners began varying the tapas adorning the little plates that came with each drink, and the widespread international phenomenon known as tapas got its start.
