Situation:  Tom is from the United States.  He is talking to Ana, her Costa Rican friend.

 

Tom:   What do you usually have for breakfast?

Ana:   Sometimes, I eat “gallo pinto” with eggs.  Sometimes, I have tortillas with sour cream, or I eat bread and butter with cheese.  I seldom eat cereal.  I always drink coffee, too.  What about you?

Tom:   Well, here in Costa Rica, I eat “gallo pinto”, eggs, and tortillas.  I drink coffee, too.  But at home I don´t eat as much as here in Costa Rica, I usually have cereal, pancakes or fried bacon with eggs.  I drink orange juice or milk.

Ana:   Really?  Is it true that people in your country don’t eat much for lunch?

Tom:   Yes.  We usually eat a sandwich, a hamburger, a piece of pizza or a salad.   Lunch is a light meal for us almost every day.  But here, I love “casados” with meat and  one or more kind of picadillos.

Ana:   Great!  I’m glad you like our food.
