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.
