Almuerzo
 Almuerzo or lunch is the most important meal in Bolivian life. At restaurants there is a set lunch. It begins with an appetizer followed by soup then a beef or chicken dish and then dessert.(2) These lunches cost as little as 90 cents! During the week lunch breaks are long to those at work and you never see them rushing back.(1) On weekends lunches turn into huge social events. During these social events tea is served afterwards which is carried out into the garden for what is called sobremesa __,__ also known as the after lunch hour.(2)
