To work up an appetite, to feel hunger stirred by a smell, a sight, or an activity before eating. That pleasant anticipatory hunger that makes food taste even better when it finally arrives. Common across Spain, Mexico, and Argentina.

“Pasear antes de comer siempre me abre el apetito.”

To spark interest, desire, or motivation for something. When something opens your appetite, it makes you want more: a travel video that makes you want to book a flight, a talk that makes you want to learn more, or literally, a smell that makes you hungry.
“That video sparked my interest in traveling to Japan.”
“The talk really made me want to learn more about the topic.”

Talacha
Hard, manual, unglamorous work that nobody wants to do but somebody has to get done. In Mexico, talacha is the daily grind, the dirty work, the heavy lifting that keeps things running. When someone says "hay que hacer talacha," it is time to roll up your sleeves and put in real effort.
