comida
Meal in Spanish
Comida is the Spanish word for food or a meal.
In English contexts, it typically appears in discussions of Latin American or Spanish cuisine, or in code-switching among bilingual speakers: Let's get some comida.
The word sometimes carries warmth or cultural specificity that "food" lacks.
