TAPAS AND SKEWERS.
say that the lid was invented back in S. XIX at La Taberna del Chato ", near Cadiz, which consisted of a slice of ham or sausage that covered the" flat "of wine so you will not enter the dust that fell from the top floor through timber slots. Another legend dates back
S. cap to XIII: He says that the King Alfonso X "El Sabio" prescibieron their doctors will feed only a few sips of wine to the accompanying small bites of food to go up is not too close to the head. When he had improved his condition, he ordered that all taverns should include a portion of food with each glass of wine to take. Another

being held in Cáceres the third edition of the Top: "ExtreGusta." Thirty-three booths on Paseo de Canovas, 0.80 € each ticket: drink (water, wine, beer ...) 1 ticket, the top simple: 1 t., elaborate cover, 2 t. This year much
ham and much torta del Casar. There are up to 120 different covers, but only one could introduce competition by setting a cap. I have drawn attention to the "tomatito gelée with Iberian ham," the "leeks and mushrooms on toast" and "French toast with coconut pineapple custard." (You can assume that the latter not tried it).
I have not been forgotten that I have not yet reported last year the strawberry gazpacho.
