Nicaragua
The largest country in Central America is sure to satisfy the largest appetite.
user rating Nicaragua, the largest country in Central America, is home to delicious and creative cuisine, ranging from approachable to adventurous.
One could simply have roasted corn on the cob from a street vendor, or try Mondongo, a hearty bowl of tripe soup served with a side of rosquillas, cheese and cornmeal biscuits. Nactamales comprise corn, mashed potato and shredded pork wrapped in plantain leaves and slow-boiled.
Nicaraguans are not people to waste; as seen with Mondongo, all parts of the animal—including the tail, brain, skin and hooves—are used in many dishes. Chicharron is seasoned, deep-fried pork skin enjoyed either solo or as a salad with cabbage, tomato and yucca.
Popular drinks include gaubul, made from green banana, coconut water and sugar. For dessert, tres leches is commonly enjoyed, a cake made with, you guessed it, three milks.—Leska Tomash
