Breakfast typically is small and consists of tea or “café con leche” (coffee with milk) and toasts, pide bread, with some fruit juice, possibly orange juice accompanied with either cheese, tomatoes, eggs, olives or hummus.. A continental-style breakfast (desayuno) may be taken just after waking up, or before entering the workplace. Due to the large time span between breakfast and lunch, it is not uncommon to halt the working schedule to take a mid-morning snack with tea. Traditional lunches in Pelaxia are long and well developed. Pelaxians often have a light evening snack (called a "merienda" - typically a coffee or green tea and a pastry and it is common to not eat dinner until 9 pm, or even later on weekends. | Breakfast typically is small and consists of tea or “café con leche” (coffee with milk) and toasts, pide bread, with some fruit juice, possibly orange juice accompanied with either cheese, tomatoes, eggs, olives or hummus..
