====I cebi (the meals)==== | |||
Within the Luthic culture, there are four main meal courses. The Luthic meal structure is typical of the [[w:Mediterranean_basin|European Mediterranean]] region. However, unlike the [[w:Italian meal structure|Italian meal structure]], the breakfast is never skipped, but it can be a bit lighter than the usual. Especially on weekends, the meals are often seen as a time to spend with family and friends, thus, weekend meals tend to be longer than elsewhere. | |||
=====Atha prangio (the breakfast)===== | |||
''Atha prangio'' “the breakfast” is the first meal of a day, often eaten during ''l’orronu'' before undertaking the day’s work. The Luths have a sweet focus for breakfast, such as pastries and biscuits, together with black coffee, an [[w:Espresso|''espresso'']], and usually a fresh seasonal fruit. The espresso may be displaced by [[w:Cappuccino|''cappuccino'']] or yogurt. For this occasion, the high register greeting ''buonorrono'' is used. | |||
=====Il mate (the lunch)===== | |||
''Il mate'' “the lunch” is the second meal of a day, considered the most important, often eaten during ''il mezzodagu''. The full version is composed of four courses: | |||
* ''Il fromu'' “the first”, usually a dish based on pasta, risotto, rice, polenta, legumes or soup; | |||
* ''Il fromu'' “the first”, usually a dish based on pasta, risotto, rice, polenta, legumes or soup; | |||
* ''L’Anþar'' “the second”, based on meat, fish, dairy products such as cheese or eggs; | |||
* ''Il þrigiane'' “the third”, which is a side dish based on salad, raw or cooked vegetables, and always accompanies ''l’anþar''. | |||
* ''Aena frutta'' “a fruit” (any seasonal fruit) as the conclusion. | |||
It is important to note that ''il mate'' is always served with a bread, usually a ''baghette'' ([[w:Baguette|baguette]]). | |||
=====La merenda (the afternoon tea)===== | |||
For the Luths, ''la merenda'' is a very important meal, as it is served during the mid-end of the ''pommeriggiu'' before ''la cena'' (the supper). It is usually a light meal identical to the ''prangio''. Due to its cultural importance, the high register greeting ''buono pommeriggio'' is used. Sometimes, ''la merenda'' is served as an [[w:Antipasto|''antipasto'']], a slightly heavier starter before ''la cena'', such as [[w:Salumi|''salumi'']] (e.g. salami, mortadella, prosciutto, bresaola, and other charcuterie products). | |||
