Everyone in this world have a favorite meal that they can eat almost every day. I personally have a favorite one and would never get tired of it. The taste that this meal have is just amazing. This great meal comes from my country which is El Salvador. The meal is called pupusas and it includes a drink called horchata. The pupusas have more than one ingredient and can be stuffed with different choices. They are the most famous meal in El Salvador. If we start a conversation on food and a perfect dinner meal, I will say pupusas. My perfect dinner will be being able to go to El Salvador and sit with friends and family while the pupusas are being made and eating them off the stove. The pupusas are best tasty when you eat them hot and right off the stove. Most people say that when you warm them up the next day it does not taste the same. That’s why I say that eating them off right off the stove is way better, because it is cheesy and tasty. Honestly, I think that pupusas are the best and everyone likes them.
Traditional, pupusas are eaten with two kind of cold slaw. The first one is made with vinegar and lettuce and you add hot sauce, but the second one is made with mayonnaise and lettuce and you add ketchup to it. The most amazing thing about to El Salvador is seeing ladies make pupusas in almost every corner. That just makes me want to eat and eat and eat. Sometimes it can be hot outside, and you still see ladies selling them. When I went to El Salvador back in July, I went to a soccer field with my little cousins for a tournament and there was a lady making pupusas and selling them. I was surprised when I saw that because here in Georgia, we barely see that. In Georgia you barely find pupusas and some of the places you do find them at are not that good and tasty. Here in Georgia, I only eat the pupusas that my mom makes or the ones in this one Salvadorian bakery. This Salvadorian bakery is very good and everything they make in there is very tasty and delicious. However, there is nothing compared to the ones made in El Salvador.
The pupusas have a very special on how to make them and a lot of different ingredients. You can make them with different kind of things which is called fillings. Pupusas are made with corn tortilla and cheese and pork. The other choice is made with cheese and beans. Another choice is to make them with loroco. Loroco is a vine flower bud from Central America. I prefer the cheese and pork ones. The flavor of that one is good and tasty. Sometimes I eat ones with only cheese. The ones with cheese are so good because when you take a bite, you can see the cheese spread out. Everyone has their own choice of pupusas and they are all good.
The flavor to the pupusas are wonderful and the texture of them is also good. When I went to El Salvador, I tried to make some, but I just couldn’t. My aunts would laugh at me and they would just tell me to watch them make it. Making pupusas is hard and not all Salvadorians know how to make them. One of my aunts from El Salvador would make some to sell every Tuesday and I would always be there with her. She would make me one of each and make me some cold slaw with mayonnaise and ketchup. It was the best time ever and I would always want to go back to those days.
Pupusas is just my favorite meal and especially with the horchata drink. I feel like if everyone would try pupusas, everyone would like them and say that they are very tasty. One day I will learn how to make them myself and I would enjoy them.
I never heard of a Pupusas but I have the erg to try it without the cold slaw. Also I want to know if the horchata drink taste like milk.
