Casado del dia

While in Costa Rica, sitting at an outdoor cafe, the waiter asked one of my female students ¿Prefiere un casado frío o caliente? My student was surprised by the offer but quickly replied, No gracias los prefiero solteros. A casado is the special of the day at Costa Rican restaurants. We had a good laugh, and throughout the trip called the meals solteros!!

Casado can also be married, while soltero means single.
