sobremesa

noun sobremesas

  1. Time spent at the table after eating; the habit of relaxing at the table after a heavy meal. A lackadaisical attitude to time explains the sobremesa—the time after lunch when everyone has finished eating but no-one wants to get up and leave. Sitting around the table chatting and drinking coffee or brandy or patxarán^([sic]) (a sloe liqueur from the Basque country) is the solution.
