The morning merienda, or snack, shows up about the time when breakfast has made just enough of a gap in my G.I. tract to allow for topping up without spillage. If we're in a meeting or lecture, this is invariably served, though no break is taken to eat it.
Some of the morning meriendas I've been treated to include: macaroni salad, a hamburger, hot sweet thick coconut soup with sweetened fruits and yams, white-bread sandwiches with sweet mayonnaise and a thin shard or two of sweet-pickled cabbage or something meatish, and just once, fruit salad.
Merienda is washed down with coffee, sweetened and non-brewed iced tea, pop or juice (or more often juicelike drink, kind of like flavoured sugar water with some added juice; usually mango, pineapple, or coconut). Now, then. This should tide you over until lunchtime.

I can't wait to hear your blood sugar level when you go back :-) Typically, a traditional Japanese breakfast includes a bowl of rice, dried fish, a raw egg, miso soup, and pickles (and sometimes fermented soybeans). Then you worry about your blood pressure.
Is today your last merienda?
Brouillard gériatrique redux redux!
Your last day in the South Pacific we finally master post-commenting; definitely blog-noggin challenged!
