It is quite common that resturants and bars offers foods or an “after-meal” drink for free. Especially if you are a group of foreign women in tourist places they often offer small side dishes and then a drink to help digestion afterwards. It is very common in non touristical areas that this happens when women lunch or eat dinner, especially in Catania. This business lunch we just order a salad, risotto and glass of wine. The owner also brought in bruscetta while waiting for the ordered food, he also brought in small vegetable dishes combined with salmon and typical catanese desserts.

When you get these things for free do not worry, you do not pay for them. Do show respect for the offer to eat the most of the offered things. They do it for hospitality! Then look around at the other tables and you may notice that you were the only ones offered these extra dishes and drinks.

Det ?r ganska vanligt att restauranger och barer bjuder p? extra mat eller en “efter-m?ltid” drink gratis. S?rskilt om du ?r en grupp utl?ndska kvinnor i turistorterna erbjuder de ofta sm? sidor?tter och sedan en drink f?r att hj?lpa matsm?ltningen efter?t. Det ?r mycket vanligt i icke turistomr?den n?r kvinnor lunchar eller ?ter middag, s?rskilt i Catania. Denna aff?rslunch best?llde vi bara en sallad, risotto och ett glas vin. ?garen kom ocks? in med bruscetta v?ntandes p? den best?llda maten, han kom ?ven med sm? gr?nsaksr?tter kombinerat med lax och typiska catanesiska desserter.

N?r du f?r dessa saker gratis k?nn inte oro, du beh?ver inte betala f?r dem. Visa respekt f?r gesten genom att ?ta det mesta av de erbjudna sakerna. De g?r detta f?r g?stfrihet! Se runt p? de andra borden och du m?rker att ni var de enda som erbj?ds dessa extra r?tter och drycker.
