This is a bit of a combination of a post and a frequent photo. Yesterday, I mentioned I wanted to talk about food. So, I'm going to do that a bit with this photo!
Regarding food, there has been a huge culture shock. First of all, my host family prepares almost double the amount of food I am capable of eating. That's pretty easy to deal with, though; I just don't eat it all.
The real shock is in the schedule:
Breakfast is at 8am. - So far, so good; class at 9 means the 8am breakfast is basically necessary.
Lunch is at 2:30pm. - Now, we're starting to get a little messed up. Not terrible, but that's awfully late for lunch.
Supper is any time between 9pm and 11pm. - WHAT?! It's true. I'm expected to eat a 3-course meal in the middle of the night. Supper always includes bread, a huge bowl of soup, and some main course or another.
So, that's basically how food works here. Often, people will stop and grab a small bight to eat in the evening, around 5 or 6, since there's 8 hours between lunch and supper!
And here's a picture of my favorite meal I've had here in Seville!!! It's Cola de Toro, which directly translates to Tail of Bull. It is accompanied by potatoes and paella here in this pic!
Share some yummy food with me!
