peer agreement (net): +1Chocolate with "tapa" Explanation: I believe "tapa" here refers to tapas, the Spanish snacks traditionally eaten with an alcoholic drink; the reason why this is in quotations could be that tapas aren't usually taken with hot chocolate. tapa an hors d'oeuvre served with drinks especially in Spanish bars —usually used in plural https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tapa tapa in Spain, an appetizer or snack as served in a bar with sherry, beer, etc., usually used in pl. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tapa Reference for the use of tapa in singular: "Bebida con tapa por dos euros en Vegueta La ruta de los pinchos comienza mañana con música para dinamizar el casco antiguo" https://www.laprovincia.es/las-palmas/2020/09/15/bebida-tapa... "Incluso empresas turísticas ofrecen en sus rutas la degustación de una bebida con tapa incluida, como algo típico del lugar." https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapa_(alimento) "Lo peor fue que cuando nos trajeron la cuenta nos pedían 2€ por cada bebida (como se cobra normalmente la bebida con tapa)." https://www.tripadvisor.com.ar/ShowUserReviews-g187441-d7214... Greetings! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-12-26 14:35:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seeing now in the discussion that this is from the Philippines, it might refer to a traditional Filipino dish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapa_(Filipino_cuisine). |

tapa Explanation: I was interested in this discussion so had a bit of a google. Tapa is the name of a filipino dish: Tapa is a Filipino dish made of thinly-sliced beef, chicken, pork, carabao, or game meat such as deer and wild boar. The meat is traditionally cured with salt and spices and then dried or smoked as a preservation technique. If the reference is to something filipino as you say, then it might just be this, tapa. Not sure why it would be with chocolate though... Reference: http://https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/filipino-beef-tapa/#:~:... |

| Reference: "tapa" Reference information: In my neck of the woods (central Spain) that would be a phonetic approximation of Tupper, as in Tupperware. Un "Tupper" has become the word for just that, a (usually) plastic container with a lid, often used to take lunch to work or on picnics, etc. |
