In Spain, where eating dinner at 10pm is common, there’s even a word for the joy of drawn out dining: Hat. Literally translating as “upon the table”, the word describes the convivial time spent chatting and laughing with friends after a meal. (Americans, on the other hand, tend to eat dinner between six and sevenaccording to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and there is no equivalent term for the joys of leisurely, communal feasting).
