    The most lovely thing about tapas is that you don't have to choose a favorite, you can have a bit of everything!
    Just some chorizo or olives is lovely, but if I really have to choose I'd take little meatballs in sauce.

    Gambas (sautéed prawns)

  • Zosia  on  May 14, 2014

    Mussels with saffron.

    I have no favorites, I love them all. If something surprises me and is unexpected, that is usually my favorite for the night.

  • kedmiston  on  May 14, 2014

    Olives. I love the varieties you get with tapas that you normally can't find in stores. I also really love croquettes and fried zucchini flower.

    Most tapas places serve a version of fried or sizzling garlic shrimp – that is my favorite dish, mostly for the garlic-spiked oil I like to sop up with crusty bread!

    Too hard to choose a favourite-I love the surprise each time there is something I haven't had before..

  • stockholm28  on  May 14, 2014

    gambas al ajillo

  • sgump  on  May 14, 2014

  • Penchantforproduce  on  May 15, 2014

    I had beets for the first time at a small tapas bar in Oxford. I had been hesitant to try beets before, having seen them only on salad bars in preserved or pickled form. Its a good thing I had passed on beets before because those beets were phenomenal and instilled in me the view that any ingredient, cooked right, could really sing.

  • rachelnz  on  May 15, 2014

    Patatas Bravas and I like to add a bowl of aioli for dipping

  • cynthiaglo  on  May 15, 2014

  • merstar  on  May 15, 2014

    Garlic shrimp.

  • veronicafrance  on  May 15, 2014

    Too much choice! The simplest ones are often the best. It may sound boring, but I love cold tortilla. Or just a plate of really good jamon with some pan con tomate. Or, if at the seaside, tiny clams simply sauteed with garlic.

  • judy_208  on  May 15, 2014

    Pimentos padron – healthy and exciting

  • dawnwaldron  on  May 15, 2014

  • pokarekare  on  May 15, 2014

    Anything with prawns!

  • tcjanes  on  May 17, 2014

    Fried calamari.

  • robinorig  on  May 18, 2014

    Hard to choose one. I love green olives, and any kind of seafood. Love Padron Peppers and I also love figs wrapped in bacon. Probably wrapped in ham is more traditional, but I've had them wrapped in bacon and drizzled with balsamic vinegar or syrup …out of this world, I make them myself!

  • Scema  on  May 18, 2014

    Croquettes, or tortillas, or gambas!

    I've never actually really had tapas. The places that serve it are generally too expensive for me. But I've heard such good things that I'd love to try my hand at making some dishes!

  • pwsnook  on  May 28, 2014
