What is "pincho"?

Pincho, also known as pintxo, is a type of snack or small appetizer that is popular in the Basque region of Spain. It typically consists of a small slice of bread, often toasted, topped with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, cured meats, seafood, or vegetables. The toppings are held in place with a toothpick or skewer, and the dish is often served on a platter or at a bar as a tapa, or small plate. Pinchos are often served in a variety of shapes and sizes, with colorful and creative arrangements that showcase the different flavors and textures of the ingredients. They are a popular and social way of enjoying food and drink with friends and family, and are often accompanied by a glass of wine or a refreshing beer.
