Tasty Tapas

My recent trip to Sevilla, Spain provided a much needed break from French food. Sevilla has a very rich culinary history as the birth place of the famous mini-dishes called tapas. I was very excited to try real, authentic Spanish tapas. Our hostel was conveniently located next to one of Sevilla's tapas restaurants. I ordered a "surprise" (meaning the waiter would not tell me which tapas I was getting) plate of seven different tapas. Some of them I really liked (fried Chorizo and cheese balls) and others I did not like (octopus sprinkled with a very spicy red pepper). There was one tapa, fried Camembert covered with a sweet raspberry sauce, that seemed like it belonged in France but it was surprisingly good.
