At Kaya, we have a carribbean version of Tapas which we call Tropas (from TROpical taPAS, not my idea but a cute one) where we have taken the tapas idea and recreated it with carribbean ingredients. And, contrary to the general attitude of pgh.food, Ithey aren't overpriced. It makes a great meal to just order a pile of Tropas and eat about ten different things. > If you must go to Mallorca, their garlic soup is pretty good, and their > fish dishes are probably as close to true Spanish food as you'll find here. > The paella is rather depressing, and should be avoided. If you go, get the Portugese sausage. It isn't that good but comes to the table in a flaming ceramic pig. Bill Fuller [email removed]
