The custom of merienda spread from Spain to other parts of the world, especially places with a history of
Spanish colonization. For example, it is enjoyed in the Spanish-speaking countries of North, Central, and
South America. At the same time, different countries have adapted the meal to suit their own particular tastes
and preferences. In the Philippines, a colony of Spain from 1565 to 1898, the foods enjoyed at merienda are
different from those eaten in Spain. Merienda in Spain features an array of snacks like olives, yogurt, fresh
fruit, and sandwiches. While in the Philippines, it is more likely to feature local favorites like deep-fried
bananas or stir-fried noodles with salted bread. Furthermore, in Spain, the term merienda relates to a meal
eaten between lunch and dinner. In the Philippines, it can also be seen as a light meal between breakfast and
lunch. Also, Portugal, Morocco, and Brazil are other countries that have their own takes on merienda.
