Dinner in Colombia is also a good deal different than it is in the United States. In the United States, dinner is typically the biggest and most substantial meal for most families. It is also the meal that is traditionally eaten as a family unit, whether at home or in a restaurant. For many Colombians, dinner is the least important meal of the day, and is not seen as traditionally eaten with the family.
Many Colombians have what most Americans would consider a snack for dinner consisting of traditional Colombian food like an arepa or bread and cheese with a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or hot agua de panela unrefined cane sugar juice —something small to tide them over until breakfast, while most Americans eat something most Colombians would consider fit for lunch as dinner.
Even so, some American eating customs are creeping their way into Colombian culture and there are some Colombians who have begun eating a more American-style dinner, especially in the sense of eating out at night after work with friends and family.
