Check the earlier entry: Tapas Pintxos or Banderillas? Banderillas are the spears used in the bullfight. One end has the spear and the other ruffled paper of different colors. The banderillas in bars usually have a vegetable or fish preserved in vinaigrette or olive oil. The most famous banderilla probably is one named "Gilda" after the movie of the same name. When the movie arrived to be shown in Spain the censor considered the scene where Rita Hayworth took off her arm length glove to be very "picante" so he cut several scenes. The "Gilda" has guindilla (a hot green pepper) and a couple of anchovy stuffed olives, both preserves. Other banderillas include skewers of midget pickles, onions, red pepper, anchovies stuff olives or tuna but no bread.
