We decided to try something different and hosted a Tapa competition. We invited 10 couples to participate in the event which we held at our apartment.

We selected three judges in advance for the competition which were not known by the participants.

Each competitor had to make enough tapas (23) in total for everyone to enjoy a sample. They also had to have 3 tapas plated for the judges. The judges scored the tapa based on taste, presentation creativity and the pairing of a wine or other beverage.

Everyone enjoyed trying the different tapas and sampling of wines. It was a very interesting event because we had people from multiple countries around the word. There were Spanish, Welsh, English, Scottish, American, Argentinian and Canadian competitors.  Each one brought some unique twist to the Spanish “tapa”. Below are the tapa entries. Each one was unique and very tasty.

The winner was selected by the judges and determined that Tapa Number 7 won the competition. Janice was awarded the Tapa trophy and the official tapa apron for “The best Tapa in 2018”

It was a very enjoyable and fun time with friends.
