De lunch die een heel land eet
In the Dominican Republic, everyone eats the same lunch at the same time.

Het is net na de middag. De straat is nu stil. Winkels sluiten vroeg voor de lunch. Eén klein restaurant zit vol mensen.
In de Dominicaanse Republiek is de lunch de grote maaltijd. Op het bord liggen rijst, bonen, kip en salade. Mensen noemen het la bandera. Dat betekent de vlag.
Timing is belangrijk, niet het eten. Om drie uur is het eten op. Eet wanneer iedereen eet. Drink daarna een kleine koffie en ga weer naar buiten.
That's the story.
