- The word comida shares a root with the English word 'comestible'. Both words derive from the Latin 'comedere', which means 'to eat up'.
- While comida means 'food', in many Spanish speaking countries it also refers specifically to the mid-day meal, which is often the largest and most important meal of the day.
