“Pupusas are the national snack of El Salvador. They are made with corn or rice flour, and stuffed with cheese and other ingredients (beans, chicharron, ayote, etc.). Pupusas are eaten in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, but El Salvador claims to have the best pupusas (and the originals!). They are so popular that the second Sunday in November is National Pupusa Day. This is a picture I took of my pupusas, complete with the curtido (coleslaw) and sauce that go with them.”
“This is my version of Costa Rica’s most traditional breakfast, gallo pinto. Gallo pinto literally means ‘speckled rooster’, and this dish gets its name from its speckled appearance of the two main ingredients, beans and rice. The dish also includes onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and a very common sauce in Costa Rica, Salsa Lizano.”
