This video is great when teaching the topic of “eating and drinking” in Spanish. It is about Spanish table manners which are actually quite similar to the French table manners, apart from the olive oil on the table. I sympathize with Marina about the napkins. I actually do also find it “violent” not to have a napkin when eating! In fact, I cannot eat without a napkin!

Conversations to follow could be:

• ¿ Cuáles son las costumbres en la mesa en tu país?
• ¿ Te parece violento comer sin servieta?
• ¿ Cómo se pasa la sal en tu país?
• ¿ En tu país, qué se come mucho?
• ¿ Eres un(a) chapuza?
