Because of the addiction of Latin Americans to spicy foods, few restaurants and cafes dare to include in their menus the traditional dishes of this cuisine, such as chili con carne, fajitas, burritos. You’re more likely to find them at fast-food stands.
And in vain, because the same Mexican cuisine is included in the list of cultural heritage of UNESCO.
Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Cuba, Brazil, national cuisine of these countries is very similar, but, of course, not without differences: Cubans, for example, recognize only chicken and pork meat – beef and mutton are not in honor. At the same time, Argentina adores beef – fried, stewed, made of it meatloaf and generally considered a national product. There are many countries in South America, where rice is loved, and where it is used minimally.
