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

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.

Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to giant frying pan and cook slightly with some oil

Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit

Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together

Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and a fuckton of cumin. Add other spices to taste.

Right before serving, add a fuck ton of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.

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
  
  Take some bread
  
  Add jam/sliced cheese/peanut butter/chocolate sprinkles
  
  We don’t really have a food culture here 😬
