Probably because,as you said,there are so many things you can call "tapas" it can go on forever...
Because everything in your kitchen can be made into "tapas"

livtoots, apologies as some of these perhaps are not the "heathiest" but they ARE some of my well-tested favourites:

Patatas bravas [link]
Fried olives [link]
Prawns in sherry [link]
Chorizos [link]
Albondigas [link]
Crab Croquettes [link]
Artichokes and Asparagus [link]

There's so many I could go on forever.....great for a party without the stuffy old "sit down at the dining table"

I always wondered why no one did this on the "Come Dine With Me" series?

Some of my favourite tapas,as a veggie:
* marinated olives (just buy those pitted olives in a jar *about 80P*,drain,put in a deep bowl,cover with olive oil and add med spices like-small chillies,lemon zest,garlic cloves.let it marinate and get the nice flavours)
* chickpea and roast pepper salad (I use fresh red bellpepper and tinned chickpea,as I'm the only one who eats it)
*Something I had at a restaurant and would like to know how to make-crispy little cauliflower florests served with a lemony dressing.I tried deep frying the cauliflower,but it wasn't as crispy as the one at that place.
