Are there cookbooks available for local recipes from Costa Rica? What are the local favorites? You have chili in Texas, baked beans in Boston, oysters in Louisiana, gumbo in Mississippi, philly cheese steak in (guess where).

How about Costa Rica?

Rice and beans! Dry and disgusting except for breakfast when it's called Gallo Pinto and the rice and beans is cooked in a dash of oil, salt and culantro. I was almost killed once when I asked if it would be eaten for lunch!

Gallo Pinto is just for breakfast. Other meals must have simply rice and beans without flavor.

Here is a guide to Costa Rica cooking... slop whatever in the kitchen or left over from whenever (if there is mold on the meat just scrape it off)... if its a restaurant use stuff that people left on their plates... hit it up a bit slap it on a plate with a healthy dose of rice and beans.
