Latin American Cuisine

Food is food to many people, but to me, food is edible happiness. When I think of food I think of all the colors, the textures, the tastes, and how I can just express my creativity through it. I don’t cook much, but when I do I try to make unique meals that no one else would think of. Why cook something original? People make the same foods all the time because they are afraid that their customers may not enjoy the different and out of rage taste. In Latin America, the word “original” does not exist there. They go beyond the ordinary flavor in foods.

I wouldn’t lie about this, I’m Hispanic and my ancestors are from Latin America. My grandma and my mom, to me, make the best meals ever. Sometimes I look at the food questioningly because of how different it looks but when I taste it, there are no words to describe it. Dramatic? Not one bit, many people take food seriously and Latin America surely doesn’t mess around with food. Cooking is an art there. They cook meals ranging from plain rice with meat to a fancy tres leches cake. My favorite is called “arroz con pollo”, rice with chicken. Sounds simple and original but when they add their special ingredients like seasonings and some vegetables it tastes amazing.

Latin America is very unique by itself but when you try their incredible cooking, trust me, you would want to move there. The only thing they do that makes their food amazing is by putting their history, their hearts, and their fresh imagination, stir it into their meals, serve it to their customers, and hope to put their taste buds in heaven. It definitely works on me.
