Do you like pupusas?
I tried them at a Salvadoran restaurant, served with coleslaw and salsa. They're not bad.

I do like them We had them for dinner a few nights back. We made them with blue corn masa. Traditionally, they are served with "curtido" a blend of pickled cabbage carrots and onions similar to coleslaw. 11/27/23

Jenny The Great ⭐ Thanks for sharing! Curtido is one Spanish word I can't pronounce. I looked up the pronunciation of kr-tee-dow, but I keep saying, car-tee-dow and kurrito like burrito without the b. -
dalcocono That's funny. I would have thought with your Italian roots, Spanish words would be easy for you. -
Jenny The Great ⭐ Funny? It's only been a couple of years since I've learned to speak Spanish. Some Spanish words are hard for me to pronounce, but then again, they are just some words.

dalcocono I always have trouble with the ere, followed by the doble erre in the same word.
-
Jenny The Great ⭐ I see what you mean. I've mastered how to pronounce curtido already. All I had to do was compose some words and a letter by thinking of the name Kurt, followed by the letter E and then dough as in: kurt-e-dough.

dalcocono Well done. Now when you go to the Salvadoran restaurant, you can order with confidence. Try the yucca too, it's better than french fries!

I know how you feel. From what I know upon asking a relative who took me to a Salvadoran restaurant: pupusas, easier pronounced as pup-ooh-sas are the national dish of El Salvador. They are made of corn flour with savory fillings like cheese, beans, beef, pork or veggies: https://youtu.be/-7L0LhEd0GI?si=rjJFUPpQ_IxA_jHG

Thanks for sharing! Since I have been recently introduced to this Salvadoran dish, I couldn't give you an accurate answer. lol -

I tried to look it up just now. Maybe my google skills are lacking, but all I could find about the origin of the term was that it's unclear, but probably from native Central American language of the Uto-Aztec family, whereas papoose is Algic. Although the two languages are in totally different families, there is a chance that some words might have been exchanged long ago. Maybe I just want it to be true, because I think it would be funny if a word for a child stuffed into a big fluffy animal skin was related to a word for vegetables and cheese stuffed into a big fluffy flatbread. -

I think you are right. Pupusas are the national dish of El Salvador, and believed to have originated with the indigenous Pipil tribe. The Pipils are descendants of the Aztecs.
