Honduras

My favorite is just what they call the Santa Tipica, which is like the typical dinner. They have, uh, it's just a little plate of eggs, beans, they have like the sour cream kind of stuff, and avocado, and they fried plantains, but they also have what's called baleadas. Uh, it's just like a flour tortilla with like basically those same ingredients on the inside, and you'll probably eat hundreds of those during your time, good for breakfast or dinner or anything in between. They call it pollo chuco, which like if you translate it, it's dirty chicken, but that's because a lot of it is made on the streets, like in the little side stands, but it's not dirty. It's usually fried or really awesome grilled chicken on top of fried plantains, not ripe ones, the green ones. So it's like french fries, but not with potatoes, but with plantains, and it's just that chicken on top of there, and you just put this awesome sauce on there, and it's super good.

Well, my favorite food in Honduras definitely has to be the baleada. So in Honduras, they typically eat corn tortillas, but the baleada uses a flour tortilla similar to what we have here, and it's kind of like a mix of like a quesadilla and a breakfast burrito. So they have this flour tortilla, and then they take these red beans that they kind of make into refried beans, and put them on on the tortilla, and then they sprinkle a white cheese that they have there, and something called crema. Kind of looks like sour cream, but it doesn't taste the same, and then you fold it in half and kind of eat it as like a sandwich. So that's the baleada, and you can add a lot of things to it. So you can add eggs, chorizo, beef, fried plantain, avocado, and all these things kind of make it like this really big, delicious breakfast burrito that they eat all the time there. It's, it's everywhere in Honduras.

In general, the food is often fried, which is funny, but they just kind of fry everything in oil. But some of my favorite foods were, of course, the baleadas, which is just a flour tortilla with some beans, a little bit of cheese, sometimes a type of meat or egg. I love the traditional dinner, which is just some scrambled eggs, some avocado, a little bit of cheese, and a whole stack of corn tortillas. I also loved what are called tajabas, which are green bananas or green plantains. When I say green, I mean they're not ripe. And they just cut them up and they fry them and then they serve them with meat and some other things. And then I also loved a dessert called sponch that you can buy at all the little stores there. And actually here in the United States, you can find them and it's just a little cookie with some marshmallows on top. So those are some of my favorite foods.

My favorite foods are baleadas and tajaditas. Baleadas is like a tortilla with beans and you can put eggs and chorizo and tajadita is just like fried platain.

There are a lot of very good foods in Honduras that I haven't been able to find here in the United States in Utah or California. One in particular, they have a baleada which is like a flour tortilla that they put beans and a special crema that they have which is like a buttercream. It's super good and they can add on things like egg and ham as well as avocado and meat and it's it's an amazing food. As well, there's another one called chuleta which is like a pork chop that they fry. I'm not exactly sure how they cook it but it turns out amazing and they put it on these taharita chips which are like these plantain chips and they have this special sauce that goes along with it. It's just amazing.

My favorite food in Honduras was from the Garifuno people. It's the black people there that create the best carne asada you'll ever have. It's carne asada with tajas, which are fried plantains. It was amazing. They made the cheapest meat into the best tasting meat ever. Always in the streets where they're selling it and if you can get it, definitely try it.
