My family and I eat salad everyday with our lunch. Generally, it is lettuce with gobs of straight oil and vinegar which I am not especially fond of. So yesterday, there was a little bowl of what looked to be french type dressing. My though process went something like this- oh, they've noticed I don't like the oil and gave me french (since Spain and France are neighbors, it seemed logical.) Turns out it was a weird form of ketchup for the rice we were eating.... needless to say, I am the constant source of entertainment I realized, as they spent the rest of the meal laughing.


a little Spanish vocab lesson:
un chiste: a joke
una broma: a prank
