Costa Rican Cuisine

Hi Everyone,
So I´m sure you guys are wondering what we are all eating here in Costa Rica. Well for all of you who don´t know we aren´t in the jungle eating bugs, we are in the city of San Jose eating the customary culinary dishes of Costa Rica. Breakfast is typically gallos pintos which is rice and beans accompanied with sour cream and salsa lizano, a cilantro based sauce. Often this is served with eggs and coffee. Typically dinner and lunch are similar. In Costa Rica, we have been feasting on rice and beans and chicken. There is a common joke that says at every meal Costa Ricans eat arroz con pollo. The salads here are usually compromised of cabbage and carrots. Finally, we have been eating the delicacy of fried plaintains, which is similar to a banana in appearance however the taste is much different. Dessert is typically arroz con leche, rice pudding or tres leches cake. Also it is well mannered to offer guests as much food as possible.

As you can now tell we are well fed here,
Charlotte
