You know what's strange. I can buy French cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Canadian cuisine, I can even find elements of UK in Germany

I'm not even aware that Spain has a cuisine. I just looked up the entry on Wikipedia and I've never seen any of those dishes really.

Chorizo, tapas, and paella are all pretty popular and well known.

I should have included Greece on that list, it's food is more well know in North America.

Tapas is genius way to charge people a lot for not enough food.

I assumed chorizo was Mexican, I've actually made that before.

I've had paella but it was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

I've heard of tapas but I've never actually seen it.

I'm not really an expert.
Tapas are like dim sum, a category of sharable appetizers, rather than a specific dish
