SPAIN: Meat and seafood tapas, patatas bravas, croquettes, and bread.
The Spanish take the idea of a "lunch break" to the next level. It's common for whole towns and cities to take a two to three hour break in the middle of the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest. During this period, most people go home for a family meal followed by a nap or "siesta."
As a result, lunch is often the largest meal of the day for many people in Spain. Multiple courses, including salads and gazpacho to start followed by small plates of a variety of meats and seafood, are enjoyed by the whole family as they retire to the shade.
or "Shepherds pie" (lamb stew with potatoes covering the top. Keeps warm till after noon)
Oh and "Cornish pasty" like the shepherds pie but all encased in pastry.
I typically did one of these most lunchtimes when I started working when I lived there , all washed down with a pint or 2 of course
