¡Hola! This is an awesome country to do because lots of students in my class have taken/ are currently taking Spanish class, and we just finished up a Cafe unit. Something that's interesting about Spanish meals is that they eat smaller meals more frequently. In the USA most people eat 3 meals a day, and in Spain there are 5 main meals a day: Breakfast, snack (merienda), lunch (this is the main meal), tapas (snack/appetizer foods eaten around 8pm), dinner. Although it seems like the Spaniards eat all the time, this way of eating is a lot better for you. Eating the main meal 12 hours before going to bed is better than 3 or 4 hours because being awake and active helps digestion.
This week I made Spanish churros. They are eaten with coffee (or chocolate milk for children) in the mid-morning. They are different from the Mexican churro, the more common food eaten in the U.S., because the Spanish churro isn't often sweet. Also, this churro was very easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again for my own family. I'll also be making Tortilla Española for my family, a Spanish egg dish. I hope the class will like the churros, and I can't wait for what is coming up next!
