Nacatamal

I totally forgot about posting last week. OOPS.

Like in many Latin American countries, Nicaragua also has its own tamale. Introducing the Nacatamal. This thing is bigger and stuffed with more food than your average Mexican tamale. This thing comes with rice, tomatoes, chicken or pork, vinegar, and some other things. Its signature feature is the plantain leaves that cover it.You know this has to be a yummy.

Loco moco

Loco Moco

Aloha people! Time for some Hawaiian cuisine. Loco moco is a traditional meal from Hawaii. There are many variations, but the essential loco moco consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger patty (American influence), a fried egg, and brown gravy. It is a very well-known dish in Hawaii.

The most probable origin of the name is that "loco" is a variation "local" while "moco" was added just because it rhymed. A funny thing is that when translated in spanish "loco moco" it says "crazy booger." Disgusting deliciousness!  Also, enjoy the next two vids. The first one tells you how to do loco moco. The second one is "Man vs Food" which shows Adam taking on the loco moco and other Hawaiian babies.

Spicy fekkas

He he he. Spicy fekkas... hehe. This is how it is pretty much explained: Spicy Fekkas are cracker like treats which take their name from fekkas, a twice-baked Moroccan cookie similar to biscotti.The spicy fekkas aren't baked twice, but they are, as their name suggests, piquant. Harissa, onions, cheese, parsley, pepper and garlic all help pack in the flavor.

Representin Morocco!

Ishkhan

How about some fish guys?! But, not just any fish, no the Ishkhan fish. Ishkhan is a Sevan trout that lives in Lake Sevan in Armenia. Armenians will either have this fish grilled, served steaming, or baked. But check this out Ishkhan is an endangered species! So if you ever sink your teeth into one of them feel privileged.

Croissant

Merci les francais! (Thank the french people!) They have created one of the most delicious breads in this yummy world: the croissant! The croissant is a buttery flaky viennoiserie bread roll named for its well-known crescent shape. However, there are different kinds like La

Parisienne unbaked croissants or croissant dogs which as you can tell by the name is a hybrid between a hot dog and a croissant.

If you go here, this nice person shows you a "how to" make croissants but with a catch... She uses GIFS! It is very helpful and the croissants come out heavenly.

Pizza

Oh yes! This is the big cheese. This very popular and delicious food (MY FAVORITE) is made in Italy. Pizza is made of oven baked bread with tomato sauce and cheese. After that the toppings are of your choice. An interesting fact about pizza is that it was originally eaten by the poor. It is said that King Ferdinand of Italy used to dress up as a poor person to be able to eat pizza. Now that is some love for pizza!

Here is a video of how to twirl a pizza... to the EXTREME.

Repocheta

This dish is native only to Nicaragua. It is one of my all time favorite plates. The repocheta is fried corn tortilla with melted mozzarella cheese. I personally like flour tortillas with pretty much any kind of meltable (if such word exists) cheese. YES! THESE ARE AMAZING! Screw this I'm going to get one right now.
