Makan siang yang tidak pernah berakhir
In Spain, the best part of lunch starts when the food is finished. It even has its own name.

Di Spanyol, makan siang tidak berakhir ketika makanan habis. Piring piring kosong. Pelayan membawanya pergi. Dan tidak ada yang berdiri. Keluarga itu tetap di meja dan mengobrol. Satu jam. Dua jam. Kadang lebih. Tandai teman yang bisa mengobrol selama tiga jam di meja makan.
Waktu ini punya nama khusus dalam bahasa Spanyol, sobremesa. Artinya waktu di meja setelah makan. Ada kopi. Mungkin kue manis kecil. Tetapi yang penting adalah mengobrol. Cerita, lelucon, kabar keluarga, sepak bola. Sore hari berjalan pelan, dan itulah intinya.
Kamu baru di Spanyol, dan kamu tidak tahu ini. Setelah makan siang kamu berdiri cepat, karena kamu punya rencana. Semua orang menatapmu, terkejut. Temanmu orang Spanyol menarikmu kembali ke kursi dan tersenyum. "Duduklah," katanya. "Ada kebakaran di mana?" Bagian terbaik dari makan siang baru saja dimulai.
That's the story.
