Youre going to find strange and unusual items on Latin American menus. You probably know that the Spanish word for meat is carne; that wont help you if you find ropa vieja literally, "old clothes" on a menu. In fact, its shredded beef. And were relatively certain that your Spanish lessons in school, however extensive, never taught you that llapingachos are cheese-filled potato pancakes found in Ecuador. But with this little guide tucked inconspicuously into your pocket, youll be able to boldly go where you once may have feared to enter.
Eating and Drinking in Latin America includes:
The most comprehensive menu reader available
Dining specialties of Mexico, Central America, South America, Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic
Advice on restaurant etiquette
Short pronunciation guides and opinions on everything from what to eat to how to order it...
