Was out for dinner with 2 good friends of mine. A very nice way to spend a Friday evening after a long week at work, with tapas, Sangría, nice company and great spanish music in a rather cosy ambience at Chijmes :)For the uninitiated...like me (I may have taken spanish lessons before. But when it comes to spanish cuisine, I'm totally clueless!), here's some useful information, courtesy of wikipedia :)
Tapas is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. Tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine; at Spanish restaurants, patrons may order many different small tapas, and combine them for a full meal.
Sangría is a wine punch typically from Spain and Portugal. The word sangría comes from the Spanish sangre meaning blood ("sangue" in Portuguese). It typically consists of
red wine, chopped or sliced fruit (often orange, apple, and/or peach; occasionally kiwi or banana), a sweetener such as honey or orange juice, a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits. gaseosa (carbonated water).
