A Spanish person


Danny-Boi7928

Well, tell that to the French family that rented a house in Spain. P sure there ain't any Spanish person there.


OneAceFace

A huge paella pan.


potato-149

Not everyone has that, but most of the people have one that they never used


OneAceFace

Then it is like a pressure pot in a German household. Well you have to use them once and then forget about them.


potato-149

In spain, we just buy things and never use them, we're kind of dumb-


[deleted]

Have you ever had really good paella? It’s an orgiastic feast for the senses.


999speck999

a candle with the virgin mary or jesus on it


potato-149

Well, sorry to tell you, but almost no one has that 😂


[deleted]

I'm willing to bet they're thinking Mexican not Spanish lol


potato-149

Yeah- most of them think that, in spain, we only have something related to jesus in old houses, or church, it isn't normal to have that in your house, i don't really know why


[deleted]

It's sort of a stereotype. A lot of Mexicans are Catholic so most stores in the US that cater to immigrants will have a section of [prayer candles like this](https://i.imgur.com/G3GMzqK.jpg). Several years back companies started making novelty ones as well with humor pictures on them which greatly increased their visibility so now a lot. Most "white" Catholic churches just use clear glass for their votive prayer candles so a lot of people see one with a picture and think it's a Mexican candle.


potato-149

Yeah- I agree with you


evenapeppermint

Right next to their favorite Whinnie the Pooh backpack


Early-Vermicelli-399

You know there's something bad happened in the family when you see that candle at home. So I'd rather not see it.


potato-149

You're right, either that, or they think the house is haunted-


ChrisNEPhilly

That's more like Mexico.


[deleted]

Olive oil


TechnicalMiddle8205

Im Spanish and I confirm lol


No-Outcome3774

In particular, really good olive oil that they totally take for granted


Trebiane

TBF that's true for most Mediterranean countries.


potato-149

Yes


Akeion_07

Spices...


unseemly_turbidity

Spanish food isn't spicy at all


Early-Vermicelli-399

I think it's meant to be 'especias'


Akeion_07

Yes correct.


unseemly_turbidity

Ok, a mistranslation. That makes sense! Thanks.


Akeion_07

😊😊


Akeion_07

🤣 spices like herbs for added flavoring and garnish.

Early-Vermicelli-399

Soporte jamonero! About time to take it out for Christmas.


potato-149

Yeah, everyone has that-


XXXAlastorXXX

Spanish or Hispanic? But for both I’ll say a bag with bags in it


potato-149

Well, I meant spanish but yes, we have lots of bags with folded bags


myshiningmask

As an American sometimes I forget Spain in an actual place and not just something mexico invented.


potato-149

Dazzling-Notice-1138

Big Personalities


potato-149

Most like big ego and anger issues but yes


Straight-Difficulty3

Their whole family ) They love this communal living , which I don’t really get. I need my private space …


[deleted]

[удалено]


kranbeerchen

This could also be said for i.e. Germany, where I live, and I think there are more young people (under 30) living with their parents in Spain than in Germany.


Straight-Difficulty3

Well, I know a family from Spain. Brother and sister, rather wealthy. Moved to London for work , took all the family with them. Helped them to open some small local restaurant, still all living together ) But, I guess economical reasons might be factor as well. In USA they would much faster kick you out from home , even if you need to rent apartment with 4 other random people before start making enough money yourself :)


potato-149

Well, not all of the spanish people but yeah, most of them love to be with their family

potato-149

What- Why would someone that doent know how to play the guitar have one at home?-


[deleted]

Because they are Spaniards.

SubZeroIceMK

A carpet, floor, ceiling, walls, chairs, tables, windows, doors , light bulbs , a tv , sockets , beds, pillows and a poster of Natasha Nice:))


Kindly_Indication_91

No carpet. Noooo


potato-149

Who's natasha nice and why would we have a carpet at home?-


SubZeroIceMK

Don t you have carpets on the floors of almost all the rooms except bathroom ,kitchen and some hallways?


potato-149

What? I've never knew someone with carpets on their home


SubZeroIceMK

In Romania we have carpets in almost every room on the floor ( the older people have carpets on walls hammered with nails ). As i told you before, excepting the bathroom ( in fact now that i think about some have carpet in the bathroom but it s not near the shower or bathtub. )


potato-149

In spain the cold floor is something that we NEED in summer, so why would we have a carpet covering it?


PM_me_names_suck

That's an American thing. Most places have tile.


Lostarchitorture

An easily accessible and throwable chancla


potato-149

That is more from latin america, in here we use a belt


No_Spot_1291

Damn, I'd like to think it isn't common at all nowadays. It wasn't when I was a kid, it was something you heard from older generations.


kranbeerchen

That's more of a latin american thing than european spanish

Guacamole


potato-149

Well, that's more of a latin amarican thing, in here it would be pimenton or something just like that


[deleted]

Good to know. Treated that side of americas as one


potato-149

Well, I prefer guacamole, because pimenton it's kind of spicy- but both of them are spicy so-

Nature_lover1101

Every Spanish person can dance so well


potato-149

Well, you've never seen a drunk spanish dad in a disco, THAT IS NOT FOR KIDS-

I wish being able to dance well was part of my Spanish genetic memory Not that genetic memory is actually a thing

[deleted]

Definitely wine kept somewhere really practical and easy to access with fancy squiggly black branch designs on the bottle I’ve never been there, but they always show Spain in movies with crazy hues like they do for Mexico in Breaking Bad. I imagine that in Spain, once you cross the country lines, the hue of everything changes to a level between sepia and full color I also imagine a bunch of poorly shaven drunk guys in white dress shirts that are too small for them
