TBT | Missing Gallo Pinto in Costa Rica
I know I’ve written a bunch of posts around my time in Costa Rica, but today feels like another good day to throwback to something I loved about CR: gallo pinto. Known as the country’s national dish, gallo pinto is basically beans and rice. Of course, for those who have experienced it in CR, you probably know it’s far better than such a simple description would suggest.
Personally, although I’ve been eating a lot of beans and rice during my time here in SE Asia (mainly to save money), none of the meals I’ve made have come close to the breakfasts I had at some of the local spots in the town I lived, Ciudad Colon, or anywhere else I found the dish while travelling.
And yes, despite the differences, it was great in Nicaragua too.
