APPETAPAS
== TAGLISH SLANG (Philippine cuisine) (noun): ==

A more apt description of a particular category of cuisine that is often taken for granted.

The term was coined by combining the words "appetizers" and "tapas" These dishes were

initially created as full entrees but to increase interest it was decided to be served "tapas" style

-- in smaller portions. Although only practiced by a few, eventually, APPETAPAS evolved into a

cuisine-art of prestige and merit in the Philippines.
