Dinner-time conversation

What do you chat about over dinner? "Afbetaling" is the Danish for hire-purchase - hardly the stuff of a casual dinner-time conversation.

I was chatting over dinner to some Danish tourists on Folegandros. They spoke very good English. The only Danish word I could think of was "afbetaling", dating from when I was studying, amongst other things, Danish consumer credit legislation in Brussels.

It was these Danes who told me about the Easter walks with icons on Folegandros.  I have been on many Easter icon walks since, on Amorgos.
