negar el pan y la sal 59
Expression that means an absolute contempt for one other person. The origin is from ancient Rome, for it was sacred custom to offer hospitality to those who visited their home, offering them a piece of bread and a pinch of salt. Therefore, there could be no greater sign of contempt among the Romans than not offering another hospitality, that is to say "deny him bread and salt".
