The food in Chile holds a high standard for the natives. Mealtimes aren't as casual in Chile as they are in The United States. The Chileans dedicate their time to 4 meals a day (Chile Food). Chileans rarely eat alone when they eat. Each meal is usually shared between multiple family members or friends because Chileans believe mealtime is the best time for communication (Chilean Food). Typically each day they eat a light breakfast, a big lunch, another small snack, and a very light dinner right before bed (Culture of Chile). is usually very light. Preferable toast or eggs with coffee or milk in the morning at the most (Chilean Food). Its usually eaten around 9am-11am right after waking up or before leaving for work, school, etc. Unlike Americans, almost every Chilean eats some kind of breakfast before leaving (Chile Food). The lunch is the main meal in Chile, much like dinner for Americans. Its served between 1pm and 2pm (Chile Food). When Chileans eat lunch they typically eat 2 courses with it (Culture of Chile). Generally the first course is a salad or something light followed by something with beef, seafood or chicken with some kind of rice or vegetables(Chilean Food). During the normal lunch hour almost every business will close. So restaurants can prosper ( Hostería de la Colina) Around 5 in the afternoon a midday snack (Once) which eaten that involves tea and some kind of bread and jam almost a repeat of their breakfast (Chilean Food). The Chileans eat this snack so late because they eat their dinner almost 2 hours later then Americans (Culture of Chile).
