When we travel, one of the most popular
things to do is to try the local food and drink. Whether you're touring Spain,
or the many countries that make up South America, be sure to try the local
cuisine. To do so, you'll need to know some common words.
We use the verb comer to indicate we wish to
eat something, and beber for drinking. To ask for something, we use the verb
poder and tener. But what to eat and drink with?
