Answer 3

My Spanish friends say (for coffee with really thick cream) "Café con nata."

My Mexican Friends tell me that If you ask for "café con leche" they'll bring you a drinking glass with half coffee and half milk.

I like coffee with cream and sugar in it so order "café con crema y azúcar" and have been lucky so far and was given the same as I get in the States.

By the way, "to order" something in Mexico they use the verb "ordenar" instead of "pedir," which I found hard to get used to.

This is "nata."

This is "café con nata." Esta foto es de como lo hacen en Ibiza."

Daniela: Do they use poner for ordering things like they do in Spain? Ponme una cerveza, or ¿Me puedes poner una cerveza? - DilKen, Mar 25, 2017

By "they" I mean in Mexico. - DilKen, Mar 25, 2017

Answer 4

Tostada con tomate, or toast with tomato, is a typical Andalusian breakfast item which I had for the first time in Jaén, Spain this past summer. To accompany it I drank a café cortado, or coffee with very little milk, and freshly squeezed orange juice -- a fairly typical combination. Tostada con tomate can be a tasty and simple breakfast, snack, or hors d'œuvre.

Directions

Grate tomato in a shallow bowl until you are no longer able

to do so without skinning your knuckles.

You should have what looks like fresh tomato sauce.

(I usually eat the little nub of tomato that I couldn't grate

with a pinch of salt while I am preparing the meal.).

Toast slices of bread so that they are crunchy 

but not too dark or dried out.

Put desired number of slices on a plate and pierce

the entire surface of the open face of the toast with a fork

Lightly pour (or sprinkle, depending on what oil-container

you have) olive oil over the open faces of the toast.

Spoon and spread freshly grated tomato over the open

faces of the toast.

Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!

Desayuno tipico.
