food

This topic  could  take forever  as it is complicated .  My diet changes dramatically when I come to Xela .   Rarely  is anything  baked.  With all the great fruit you  would think this be a big item but fresh fruit is rarely   served.  Breakfast is typically  refried black  beans ,  eggs, tortillas ,  and cheese.  Cereal  is also served.  Lunch is the big meal  which is almost always something  fried. I have had

fried  chiken, fried  empanadas, fried pork, and fried rice .    Steamed tamallitos  are very  popular (a steamed dough) and paches (steamed stuffed   mashed potatoes  ).  Dinner,  the smaller  meal is usually  what is leftover  from the previous  meals.  Drinks can be tea, coffee, or refrescos (some kind of sweet  juice).  I am suprised  that  all members  of  the  family  drink  coffee , including  the  five  year  old. I do like  the food  although  i  miss my American  diet of cheetos  and coke .
