|  Most
restaurants in San Sebastian have a set menú del día,
which is usually a good way to sample many different types of
food, as well as being a good bargain. It will generally include
an appetizer, bread, a main dish, dessert, and coffee or tea,
and is generally only served at lunchtime.
A popular dish in San Sebastian
is anything with pork; especially jamón serrano which is
a leg of ham cured and then hung out to dry in the store window.
Bacon, longanissa, and chorizo are also consumed in quite heavy
numbers as well.
 If
you have never been to San Sebastian, or Spain for that matter,
you must know that the dining schedule is quite different from
most American's eating habits. Breakfast is around 9:30; lunch
at about 2:30-3 followed by a lengthy siesta, and finally dinner
no earlier than 9 p.m.
