Comment on For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?

  Yes but the American idea of a taco is not traditional Hispanic food, and especially not representative of the majority of Latin America

    Traditional street food varies by country.

    I noticed that. They all have empanadas, but they’re different in each county. Also ceviche is slightly different everywhere. I loved gallo pinto for breakfast when I was visiting Costa Rica, shame I’m too lazy to make it at home really.

      Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food.

      1. Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to giant frying pan and cook slightly with some oil
      2. Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit
      3. Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together
      4. Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and a fuckton of cumin. Add other spices to taste.
      5. Right before serving, add a fuck ton of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.
      6. Serve with some sort of side - fried egg, sweet plantains, chorizo, chachirron, cheese (queso fresco or fried)

        Thanks for the recipe, thats quite a lot of work compared to the typical dutch breakfast which is

        1. Take some bread
        2. Add jam/sliced cheese/peanut butter/chocolate sprinkles

        We don’t really have a food culture here 😬
