The lack of tapas

[Broccers]

When holidaying has anyone noticed that the places they once visited now don't do free tapas?

Is it a recession thing? Or tourism ruining once quiet local focused destinations?

[Broccers]

None of you travel?

Or did Jobbo put a ban on commenting

I had 4 days in Monaco and bugger all was free (and I spotted no tapas)

[Marv]

I spent a year travelling and never got any free tapas.

I walked to the local co-op and never got any free tapas.

I only remember getting the odd free thing in Portugal. As for France/Monaco they would sometimes hand out a bunch of stuff with the menu but then if you ate it they would charge you. Then I noticed that almost no one touches it and they keep recycling it from table to table
Shitty breadsticks in Italy, that’s free

Inspired by your post, I started investigating what it would take to open a pop-up restaurant that might meet this need.

I went to BQ to get letters to make a big “FREE TAPAS” sign, and since I am not going to make much money out of this venture - asked if they had any slightly damaged ones that they could give me for free?

They checked in the back, but advised that the only letters they had spelt “FEAR PASTE”, and they were £10 a letter.

So I didn’t bother

My parents went to get free tapas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt*.







*and I had to pay for it.

I had the same thoughts/issues and ended opening an Italian seafood restaurant instead called REEF PASTA with what they sent me.

Unfortunately I ended up having to call my restaurant “Rape Feast”

[nuttinnew]

all because there wasn't any spare feta

[IanF]

Free pasta though

Statistically speaking, 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape.

Did this go as you expected Broccers?

[Broccers]

Obviously if you're travelling to sanitised TUI all inclusive with your famalam this subject is harder to grasp.

[ZedLeg]

Having to bump your thread for a lame dig.

Sad

[scotta]

I went all the way to fuck - which I’m sure plenty of us have told broccers to get to - Still no free tapas.

Surely all-inclusive holidays are ideal for you to get your free tapas?

I've travelled extensively whilst wearing my Casio G Shock GS1100 and have never received any free Tapas. It's a tragedy.

Nah, they just didn't like you
