What do people in El Salvador eat and drink?

Question

I might be going on a missions trip to El Salvador. I am really curious about what they eat or drink.

Answer 1

well we eat pupusas wich usually come filled with cheese and beans or as we call thm frijoles con queso i prefer frijoles you should really go to el salvador its wonderful and carne asada if you go by the ocean they serve fresh seafood.

Answer 2

Our national dish is the Pupusa.  Typically filled with chicharrones (porkrinds) and cheese but more recntly you'll find them stuffed with shrimp, sqash, etc.

You would also not go wrong with trying Yuca Frita con Chicharrones - Fried Cassava with pork rinds. They are extremely delicious.

El Salvador lies on the Pacifc. The seafood is fresh and amazingly tasty. Try a Parrillada de Mariscos - A seafood platter. You'll l**k the plate...

Our tamales are to be experienced. They are cooked in banana leaves, with big chunks of pork or chicken and vegetables.

Try Shuco. It is a drink made of purple corn with beans and pumpkin seed sauce. It is eaten as a meal.

Try any of the many atoles (hot corn meal drinks) in El Salvador. Atole de elote, atole de piña, Chilate con nuegados.

Try some of the local sausages. Longaniza de Nahuizalco is extremely popular.

The drinks can be quite an experience. The horchata is made from the seeds of the Morro tree, and not from rice and milk like the Mexican version.

Don't forget the tropical fruits!
