And finally!
I found Pintxos/ Pinchos in Leeds! (I can't take any credit, they weren't hiding them or anything).
They're like tapas, but more substantial, and based on bread. They're held together with a toothpick or little wooden stake; the name literally means spike.
I haven't ever had them in this country - the last time I had them was in Amsterdam.
If you're eating alone they're better than tapas, because you don't have to eat a dish of the same things, or over-order to get some variety.
I stood and chatted to the ladies on the stalls for a little while; they're used to having to explain the concept. Still didn't get a sample...
