Tapas is lots of fun. There's a short strip of tapas restaurants in the Sydney CBD, which I haven't been to in entirely too long.
One of my favorite tapas dishes is lightly deep-fried whitebait - small fish about two inches long. The bones are too small to matter, so you eat them like french fries. Also chorizo, and anything seafood, are favorites.
I went to a tapas barin Barcelona. The waiters would come through with huge trays of tapas, each piece with a toothpick in it (what do you call them when they're used for presentation, and not actually picking teeth?). If you wanted what they had, you just took one. Likewise, if you wanted vino tinto (red wine), the bartender would pour you a glass - and you'd go back for a refill.
When we left, the cashier just counted our toothpicks and asked how many glasses of wine my wife had had (I don't drink), and gave us the total. We ate pretty constantly for an hour and a half, and probably spent forty or fifty dollars.

It's the best way to eat, ever.
Oh, the chorizo cooked in wine. Anything seafood. Those ham and cheese fritter ball things whose name I can never remember.
ETA:
Croquetas! Don't know why I blank out on that.

Elitist snobs. Must be Ivy League educated. No doubt, they'll soon be singing the praises of free-verse poetry and The Smiths...
