Local Costa Rican Favorite Dishes: The ones you have to try

 

A key determinant of whether you enjoy your vacation anywhere in the world (or not) is the variety and flavors of local foods that you experience. Each country has its specialties and foods that have been cooked in the communities for centuries.


Costa Rica is known for its biodiversity, lush rainforests, and glorious beaches, but it also has a host of popular local foods. All can be found in local restaurants or "soft drinks" and are incredible value for money. So if you are heading to this Central American country, there are a lot of foods that you really must look for and try. Here is my list of favorites:


The top of the list is Gallo Pinto or Beans and Rice. This is a staple of the Costa Rican diet and on every menu, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also known as typical food and it is delicious.


Next is the ceviche. Some people think that raw fish is like sushi, but this is not true. The fresh fish is cooked in the juice of the lemons while it is stored in the refrigerator and also the coriander and the onion. I love it and could eat it all day.


Empanadas are another typical Costa Rican food. Made from corn or maize, these round flatbread patties are filled with beans, cheese, and maybe potatoes and meat.


For me, Costa Rica is about fresh fish and wonderfully fresh fruits that are in abundance. They include papaya, mango, pineapple (pineapple), watermelon (watermelon), melon (cantaloupe), blackberries (blackberries), lemons (lemons), guava (guava), granadilla (passion fruit), and avocados (avocados). Many of these are served alone or as a soda, a drink mixed with ice.


The best of them is the pipe or the coconut water. It is a natural isotonic drink that is enriched with vitamins and minerals. Coconut juice has become a 'super drink' in the US and people pay over $ 6 for a packaged coconut water drink. The cost of picking a coconut from a tree and drinking its juice in Costa Rica is $ 0 and the experience is incredible.


My final suggestion is arroz con pollo or chicken and rice. It sounds very simple and inelegant. It is exactly that and absolutely delicious. It often comes with salad and plantin (a form of cooked banana). It always fills you up when you need a filling meal and is always served with a Costa Rican เมนูเด็ดจากร้านเด็ด.

Strange behavior of Jupiter and Neptune

  This article is based on work I did for my October 2009 newsletter. It is written for astrologers and the general public alike, so the explanations are straightforward and straightforward. But while working on the article, a completely different approach opened up. I couldn't use it for the general public (too technical) but it had a good flow of information for astrologers and a speculative concept that I have been considering about the shadow effect of planetary stations. The general article is titled Jupiter Conjunct Neptune: Inspiration or Illusion and has the following material led by the astrologer: Astrologically speaking ... Jupiter conjunct Neptune: inspiration or deception? For me, the research is ongoing, for my current book, for my largest book on presidents, for my other studies, such as my research on serial killers, and for interesting topics that come up moment by moment. Sometimes there are so many interesting topics that I stray. Life itself is so diverse, so hu...

Strange fish from the deep

  Here's an interesting fact: the seahorse, that strange little fish with the head of a seahorse, can seemingly see forward and backward at the same time. There is also the whirlwind beetle, which we see on the surface of the calm water, this creature is equipped to look up and down at the same time. Their eyes are divided so that the upper part sees the surface of the water and the lower part sees below the surface. There is a black layer of pigment between the two parts so that light from one does not affect the other. There is a strange fish, Anableps, called a four-eyed fish, which has divided eyes like a beetle. You can look for insects on the surface and. at the same time, with the lower part of the eye it sees what is underneath in the water. Fish that live at the bottom of the ocean, and some that live in the lowest water levels above the bottom, have 110 reasons to look up anywhere. Their food comes down to them and their eyes are designed to look up. Those fish known as f...
