If I had read this fabulous article on how to taste cheese, before going to a very pricey Tapas bar in downtown Minneapolis, my brother probably wouldn’t have shelled out $50 smackers for us to eat Spanish cheese that tasted EXACTLY like the giraffe cage at the zoo.
(To be more accurate, it would be a giraffe cage in the zoo that is right next to one of those machines that burn plastic into the shape of a hippopotomus or zebra or some other zoo-like animal.)
Actually, ALL the plates we had tasted like giraffe cages to some degree or the other. We spent another $40 bucks buying pizza and junk food to get the taste out of our mouths. ICK.
And? Do not go hungry to a Tapas bar because it will cost you big bucks to fill up. Tapas basically translates to “Little plates of food” and they are NOT KIDDING at the “Little” part. We were basically eating portion sizes of an elf on diet. at $10-13 bucks a teeny plate, that can get pricey.
If food comes in such small portions, it had best be exquisitely delicious, to be savoured. How the heck do they get repeat bidness?

Mmmm…tapas. It can get pricey, but it’s perfect for someone like me who hates to miss out on anything on the menu that sounds good. But the cheese? Can definitely be…interesting.

i’m more curious as to how you know what the giraffe cage at the zoo might taste like…lol
ask someone who’s worked at one of the cheese plants about what the difference between cheap cheese and name brand cheese…they’ll tell ya, only the wrapper – it all comes down the same line…

OMG, I so know what you’re talking about!
The department my husband works in at his job decided to go to a Tapas bar for their holiday party this past year…after they’d asked what kind of place we’d prefer since we’re the ones with a toddler. We’d said any place that was kid friendly — yet, they still chose Tapas. Anyway, we left very very hungry and had to stop at McDonald’s on the way home. French Fries never tasted so good.
