A small jar has classic tapas flavor. (Feeney + Bryant Photographers)
On family holidays, the person who draws the “appetizer” straw is always perplexed about what to bring. Bring this. It’s meaty and delicious and travels well to whatever function you may be attending- it also makes a great host gift. Please be selective when seeking out ingredients. Ask to taste items before you purchase them.
