Local Italian restaurant chain is advertising a "dinner for two"

[melissa-dallas]

special that includes two "tapas." Why can't they just call them appetizers? I realize it is ever so much more hip to call them tapas, but I eat tapas at SPANISH restaurants.

At least they weren't called "antojitos".

Ey! Whatsa wronga wit "Antipasti?"

Melissa, this was my smile / laugh for the morning!

 

[cheezz]

Right you are! When the fad is over they will miraculously go back to being appetizers

 

[melissa-dallas]

It's right up there with being as stupid as calling every sauce imaginable "salsa"

 

[richard-in-cincy]

That sort of says a lot about the authenticity of their Italian now doesn't it?

 

[melissa-dallas]

I should have said "Italian" restaurant...

 

[sallybr]

Glad they are not in Brazil....

.... because two tapas would be two slaps on your face (or any other body part readily available..
