What is the difference between tapas and mezze?
assistant
Tapas is a Spanish-style snack or appetizer consisting of small dishes, often served along with drinks. Mezze is a Middle Eastern-style small plate of appetizers or snacks, usually served with an array of other dishes as part of a larger meal. The difference between the two is largely in their origins: while tapas come from Spain, mezze hail from the Middle East.
