Cooking like a local in Honduras

Learn to make flour and corn tortillas. Refried beans!  Buy as much as you can at the local Farmer's market. Much cheaper than in the U.S.  Tamales wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. Find a friendly local to teach you. There is a way to mix cacao with coffee when roasting that makes an out of this world coffee. Nothing like it in the States. Salsa made with fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeno. The canned jalapeno seemed to work better in salsa than the fresh. If you have a sweet tooth, learn to make Tres Leches (3 milks). Dessert uses sweetened condensed milk. Best local beverage is Salva Vida beer. You can get raw peanuts at the market, roast and grind them to make your own peanut butter because the imported is very expensive. Eat local cheese! Not as good as in the States but much cheaper than imported. Learn to deep-fry chicken in Manteca- Lard. Best chicken you can get.
