It’s time for MERIENDA

Buttercream Pillow-soft

Bread of heaven in mouth

Sugar crystalline flirts

With cheese melt of delight

A treat for the taste buds

Good God, ENSAYMADA

“MERIENDA” is a word for a snack typically consumed in the afternoon in southwestern Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France), Latin America, the Philippines, North Africa, and Brazil. There are various terms for this depending on the culture. Nonetheless, eating merienda, wherever I may be in this world, is an exciting part of the day for me!
