Tapas are small quantities of food sold (or given for free) with a drink in Spain.
In the Philippines, this “cover” evolved to become a thin strip of beef which is nowadays eaten, along with rice, as a full meal, usually for breakfast.
Upscale tapas restaurants are common in the United States and the United Kingdom, where a series of tapas are typically served as a main course.
In the yogic tradition, tapas may be translated as "essential energy", referring to a focused effort leading towards bodily purification and spiritual enlightenment.
Tapas implies a self-discipline or austerity willingly expended both in restraining physical urges and in actively pursuing a higher purpose in life.
