In this case, they tell to whom something is pleasing. • Te gusta la leche, ¿verdad? • Milk is pleasing to you, right? • Remember to use the definite article with encantar or gustar when saying that you like something in general. • Me encanta eljugo de naranja. • I love orange juice.

11. Nota cultural • Breakfast in Spanish-speaking countries is usually eaten around 7 or 8 A.M. People often eat un panecillo(a plain or sweet roll) and a piece of fresh fruit, such as papaya or piña. Café con leche or chocolate are served for breakfast. • The main meal (called simply la comida) is usually eaten around two o’clock. It is typically a heavier meal than lunch in the U.S. • La comida consists of soup, meat, or fish with rice and vegetables, followed by dessert and coffee. • A typical Ecuadorean dish is cazuelade mariscos, a casserole prepared in a clay pot with seafood and maní. • For many people, it is traditional to have a rest, or siesta, after the comida, and then go back to work until late evening.
