The great food of Nicaragua

By David Moreno


There are many people that are looking for countries with unique foods and if you are someone that loves to eat a lot and eat many different foods, then you will not have to worry about this anymore, for there are countries out there that you can visit in order to satisfy your hunger and curiosity for different foods and in this regard, Nicaragua is the best place that you can visit, which we will of course talk about in this article. The Nicaragua food has a very interesting history behind it and you will feel very much impressed by it.

As such, when the Spanish people first arrived there, they were amazed of the fact that the Creole already had developed a cooking culture, had created very tasty and unique dishes and one of their most famous foods, corn, was being prepared in ways that you cannot even imagine.

You should be aware that here you can eat foods that you will not be able to eat in other countries. They are boas, different species of animals that are almost extinct, turtle eggs and so on.

For those that love cow meat, the nicaraguan recipes will have all of the parts of a cow prepared. Seeing the testicles of a bull, the skin, the brain and even the blood being drunk by a Nicaraguan is no way a site that is unusual there, yet to some people, it might yield a nausea. So I am actually saying that you come mentally prepared here.

There are of course some tasty vegetables that you will be able to eat too and you will see that you will find them and fruits in all sorts of possible colors and tastes. Yet, specific to Nicaragua is the corn and you will find it to be prepared in ways that you will never be able to imagine. Even if corn can easily be found in many countries, no country can surpass Nicaragua in the way corn is being prepared.

There are many fruits you will be able to eat here, foods that are quite unique and cannot be found anywhere else. The herbs that grow here can be used to prepare certain foods and also as medicine. These wonders altogether are creating the beauty behind Nicaragua and its wonderful culture. So, if you are someone that is looking for an exotic experience of food and culture, then this is the place that you will want to visit as your next vacation.
