    15 People Who Totally Fucking Ruined Tapas

    Take it from a Spanish person. You're doing it wrong, people.

    It's come to our attention that certain people have appalling and wrong opinions on tapas.

    But the problem is, a lot of people around the world appear to have no clue what tapas actually are.

    Let's look at the evidence, shall we?

    1. Whoever assembled this monstrosity.

    2. When someone poured oil on some salad, chucked some raisins on, and said "Fuck it, that'll do."

    3. This stinging rebuke to everything Spanish culture represents.

    4. When someone thought this was an acceptable way to pair tapas with booze.

    5. Potted chicken nuggets, without any sauce. SMDH.

    6. Whichever establishment thought this was a good idea.

    An interesting idea. Our Tapas arrived on a washing line.

    A little part of me died looking at this picture.

    7. When the saddest tapa in history was accompanied by crackers on a paper plate.

    8. "Give me a tapa made with mayonnaise salad and Jenga blocks".

    9. That's not a tapa, that's just a bowl of floppy chips with two sauces.

    Love @WSanFrancisco but this is a sign your bar menu sucks. #shittytapas

    I will take the olives.

    10. Whatever the hell this is.

    All of the holiday feels and delicious eats at #ExcuseMyFrench tapas bar in the Lower East Side🇫🇷🎄… https://t.co/k35uMvkZPW

    What are you doing, America?

    11. What the actual fuck?

    12. WHY ARE YOU EATING TAPAS IN THE BATH?

    13. MANDARINS.

    14. Go to hell.

    15. I don't even wanna know what's going on here.

    I very much regretted each of these Icelandic tapas for different reasons

    MAKE IT STOP.

    Please, people of the world - if you are going to talk shit about tapas, maybe ask yourself if the problem is tapas itself, or the rather the crappy ~approximation~ of tapas that gets served up in your country.

    And if you can't find good tapas in your country, hey, come to Spain and eat it here. You might just change your mind.
