Long lunch. Someone else paying.
We went to Spain for a week a few years ago. Breakfast was served from 7am to midday, so we'd amble down slowly around 9.30 and eat heartily, as there was loads of choice. We didn't eat again until the evening as we just didn't feel hungry. It was the first holiday where I actually lost a couple of llbs instead of putting weight on, even with drinking in the evening.Best part of going away is the 'all you can eat' Premier Inn breakfast. Pint of juice, 2 coffees, toast and 3 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 hash browns, scrambled eggs and beans (there's a subject, beans for breakfast?). Downside is I have to make two stops later in the day to, err, well you know.
Long lunch would be a pub lunch so afternoon nap required.
But living in Spain previously, we'd go out at 4:00 and sit around for a meal for hours. Even now when we go out my first words to any waitress/waiter is 'we're in no rush'. I hate main courses arriving just as they clear the plates away for starters. In fact I tend to order warm breads, olives and oils first without giving my main order so they go slowly.
As long as there is plenty of blue on the cheeseboard.Huge ploughman’s or charcuterie platter in a country pub after a few hours walk in the morning.
