Ručak koji nikad ne završava
In Spain, the best part of lunch starts when the food is finished. It even has its own name.

U Španjolskoj ručak ne završava kad nestane hrane. Tanjuri su prazni. Konobar ih odnosi. I nitko ne ustaje. Obitelj ostaje za stolom i priča. Jedan sat. Dva sata. Ponekad i više. Označi prijatelja koji može pričati tri sata za stolom.
Ovo vrijeme ima posebno ime na španjolskom, sobremesa. Znači vrijeme za stolom poslije jela. Ima kave. Možda mali slatkiš. Ali važna stvar je razgovor. Priče, šale, obiteljske vijesti, nogomet. Popodne prolazi polako, i to je poanta.
Ti si nov u Španjolskoj i ne znaš to. Poslije ručka brzo ustaneš, jer imaš planove. Svi te gledaju, iznenađeni. Tvoja španjolska prijateljica te povuče natrag na stolicu i nasmiješi se. "Sjedni", kaže ona. "Gdje gori? Najbolji dio ručka tek počinje."
That's the story.
