Tostones
La cocina criolla
How do historical influences affect the food that people eat?
Traditional cooking in Puerto Rico, known as la cocina criolla, combines
Spanish, African, and indigenous influences. Tostones (fried plantains)
are a common side dish. Popular snack foods are alcapurrias (fried plantains
stuffed with meat) and bacalaitos (codfish fritters). In El Salvador, traditional
cuisine blends indigenous and Spanish influences. A typical food is the
pupusa, a corn tortilla filled with beans, pork, and cheese. Pupusas are often
served with curtido, a spicy coleslaw. Semita, a sweet bread layered with
pineapple marmalade, is also popular.

Pronunciación
Las letras r y rr
In Spanish, the letter in the middle or the end of a word is pronounced by
a single tap of the tongue against the gum above the upper front teeth. The
letter r at the beginning of a word or rr within a word is pronounced by
several rapid taps called a trill. Listen and repeat.
