With April being Hispanic Heritage Month, it is a great opportunity for Alma Latina Online Magazine to share with our non-Hispanic readers some popular dishes in some Latin American countries.  Truth be told, even Hispanics may find some of these helpful, since a lot of our dishes may share some similarities, and at times they may even be the exact same dish, but they may have different names in Spanish and people from different countries might not know what something really is just by the name alone.  For example, rice and beans are a staple in Central American cuisine.  A mixture of the two is called Gallopinto in Nicaragua, Casamiento in El Salvador and Congri (red beans) or Moros y Cristianos (if mixed with black beans) in Cuba, but it is pretty much the same thing in all countries.
