Mealtime and courses in Spain:

A Spanish person starts his or hers day off with a desayuno, what we would call breakfast. Usually, they would only drink a cup of coffee con leche. Sometimes, they would eat some pastry, a croissant or something similar. A '' traditional '' breakfast would be sugar-coated churros with hot chocolate.

When it comes to lunch time, Spanish people have their comida somewhere between two and four pm. It's richer and larger than their dinner. A typical Spanish lunch consists of many courses. Firstly, they would eat something light -- like soup or salad. The second course would be anything that involves any kind of poultry, red meat or fish. They also have desserts on the regular basis, like churros, a piece of cake or any seasonal fruit.

When it comes to dinner time, la cena, it's much lighter being compared to the lunch. They have dinner pretty late, usually around 9pm and 11 pm. They would have a bowl of salad, a light sandwich or tapas ( a selection of different cheeses and dried meat that is usually served with drinks at any local bar ).

American people have three meals each day. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfast is always some time between 7 and 8 am. Lunch takes place some time between 11 am and 12 pm. The dinner is eaten pretty much early compared to the European habits, around 6 and 8 pm.

The put more effort and focus on the lunch. Lunches would consist of a few courses and dessert would make the third. The same is for dinner.
