Basic Foods in My Culture

I don' t remember any food or dish that identifies my country. Mexicans have their burritos and tacos. Or there are the "pupusas"from El Salvador. But in my country when it's time to eat we usually ask for a "casado". A "casado" consist of a combination like rice, beans, salad and some kind of meat such as pork, chicken or fish. One very popular dish in my countryis a breakfast dish called "gallo pinto". It is a mix of rice and beans and eggs. There is the "olla de carne" too, just as popular as the "gallo pinto". It is a soup with pieces of meat and some vegetables. If you want you can add some rice to it.Finally as i said before we don't have a particular dish, but there are some popular ones that usually become the main course of a party or ceremony.

If I want to tell people about the main drink in my country, I can say the same as for the food. But I could say that one of the main drinks would be coffee because I don't know anyone that doesn't like coffee. Also there is a hot drink called "agua dulce". It's water mixed whit some kind of sugar. It's almost a tea that not everyone likes, but it is kind of popular. In conclusion we have added some drinks and foods from other cultures but we have ours , too.
