I was just thinking that a Spanish "all-day breakfast" would be churros and chocolate, or bread and olive oil.............maybe with a small fino or brandy!
I used to cough to disguise a [email protected] I f@rt to disguise a cough.
Spanish way for us, but we ate late in the UK too.
Brekky at 8-9, depending on if it is a school day, lunch at 2-3, dinner always after 9, at the moment it's when it gets dark, as it's too hot to eat before, so more like 10. I feed the boys at 5.30-6 though as they go to bed at UK times (8-9), we like our grown-up time in the evenings.
'Tea' at 5.30, how quaint....I'm just not hungry that early and couldn't possibly go through a whole evening without dinner and a nice glass of wine.

Finally really and properly living in Andalucia.
How do you all cope with cooking when its very hot? This I find hard to deal with, even boiling an egg brings me out in a sweat.
We are slowly getting used to having something light to eat at nightime (around 10pm), having had a Menu del Dia at around 2pm and then a siesta! and nibbles now and again until later.

No Princess, he knows you´re from the North (I´m a Lancashire lad, by the way) because you eat dinner and tea, rather than lunch and dinner. My wife´s from London and when we got together she lived in a permanent state of confusion because of our cultural differencesprincess peach wrote: Trooperman..have you seen any previous posts of mine?..
I am from NORTH yorkshire....so that was a great guess if you didnt know already.
No offence took,im just amazed at how you knew that just by me giving the times i ate..

My wife comes from Yorky.
I still have great fun trying to understand what meal she's on about.
Breakfast 09:00 - 10:00 depending on wake up time.
I have Lunch (she has Dinner) at about 14:30 in summer in Spain. Maybe 13:00 in winter.
I have afternoon tea at 16:00 (a few gambas, or some olives or a little sandwich, pot of tea). I don't think she has a word for this (possibly snack).
I have dinner (she has tea) at about 21:00 in summer (once sun has set and the terrace begins to cool.) 19:30 in winter.
She has supper, a small snack, about an hour before bed. (I just have another tinto)
