Bedeutung
The act of distributing food among people.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Tapas' tradition is the ultimate expression of sharing food. People move from bar to bar, sharing small portions of different dishes. The 'Asado' (barbecue) is a ritual where the 'parrillero' shares different cuts of meat with everyone at the table over several hours. Family meals often involve 'taquizas', where various fillings are placed in the center for everyone to make their own shared tacos. It is common to share a 'picada', a large platter of various fried meats and vegetables, among a group of friends.
The Tapas Rule
If you are in Spain, always assume the food is for sharing unless it's a 'menú del día'.
Don't say 'Partir'
Saying 'Voy a partir la comida' sounds like you are going to cut it with a chainsaw.
