Repartimos brochetas de costilla y panceta.

Repartimos can be either:

• present indicative: we distribute / we hand out
• preterite: we distributed / we handed out

This happens because some -ir verbs have the same nosotros form in the present and the preterite.

So by itself, Repartimos brochetas de costilla y panceta could mean either:

• We hand out rib and panceta skewers
• We handed out rib and panceta skewers

Usually, the wider context tells you which one is meant.

Because Spanish usually drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• repartimos already means we
• so nosotros is not necessary

You could say Nosotros repartimos..., but that would usually add emphasis or contrast, for example:

• Nosotros repartimos las brochetas, ellos sirven las bebidas.

So the version without nosotros is completely normal.

Brocheta means skewer or sometimes kebab: pieces of food put on a stick for cooking or serving.

A few useful points:

• la brocheta = singular
• las brochetas = plural
• it is a feminine noun

In Spain, brocheta is a very common word for this kind of food.

Here, de introduces the ingredient or type of skewer.

So:

• brochetas de pollo = chicken skewers
• brochetas de verduras = vegetable skewers
• brochetas de costilla y panceta = skewers of rib and panceta

The single de applies to both nouns joined by y:

• de costilla y panceta

Spanish does not need to repeat de before the second noun.

You could say de costilla y de panceta, but that would sound more like you are separating the items more clearly, possibly as two types. With one de, the phrase sounds compact and natural.

In food descriptions, Spanish often uses the singular to name an ingredient or category, even when the final dish contains several pieces.

So costilla here refers to rib meat as an ingredient, not necessarily to one single rib being counted.

This is similar to other food phrases such as:

• brocheta de pollo
• empanada de atún
• pizza de champiñón / pizza de champiñones

With food vocabulary, Spanish can be flexible, but the singular often sounds like the ingredient as a general substance or type.

Panceta is especially natural in the singular because it often behaves like a mass noun.

Spanish often leaves out articles in menu-style, label-style, or concise descriptive language.

So Repartimos brochetas de costilla y panceta sounds quite natural if the focus is simply on what is being handed out.

If you wanted to refer to specific known skewers, you could also say:

• Repartimos las brochetas de costilla y panceta.

That version sounds more like the rib and panceta skewers are already identified in the conversation.

So:

• without article = more general, descriptive, menu-like
• with article = more specific

Not exactly.

In Spain, panceta usually refers to pork belly or a bacon-like cut of pork, but it is not always identical to what an English speaker means by bacon.

Depending on context, panceta may be:

• fresh pork belly
• cured pork belly
• a fatty pork cut used in cooking or grilling

So in translations, bacon may sometimes work, but pork belly can be more accurate.

Sometimes, but you need to be careful.

Repartir usually means:

• to distribute
• to hand out
• to divide up

It is more about giving portions or items to different people.

Compartir is the more usual verb for to share in the sense of sharing something together.

So:

• repartimos brochetas = we handed out / distributed skewers
• compartimos brochetas = we shared skewers

In many contexts, repartimos is better translated as we handed out or we distributed, not simply we shared.

By itself, it can be understood as a description of the skewers’ ingredients, and context will decide the exact interpretation.

It could suggest:

• skewers made with both rib and panceta, or
• a compact mention of skewers involving rib and panceta as the meat options

If you wanted to make the idea of two separate types clearer, Spanish could say something like:

• brochetas de costilla y de panceta

If you wanted to make both ingredients in the same skewer clearer, you might say:

• brochetas con costilla y panceta

So the original phrase is natural, but the exact nuance depends on context.
