Pupusa

Sally the Intern shared a dream from two nights ago. She dreamed about “Pupusa”. Not the actual food item, but just the word itself. After consulting with the WLBOTT staff Freudian analyst / astrologer / sign spinner / Tourism Campaign Developer / Lighthouse Bulb Technician / tele-barber / underappreciated herring influencer / gastroenterologist / mySpace consultant / vulcanologist (we wear many hats) we were able to find a very BLOTT- worthy topic.

Pupusa Perspectives

A pupusa is a thick griddle cake or flatbread from El Salvador and Honduras made with cornmeal or rice flour, similar to the Colombian and Venezuelan arepa. In El Salvador, it has been declared the national dish and has a specific day to celebrate it. It is usually stuffed with one or more ingredients, which may include cheese (such as quesillo or cheese with loroco buds), chicharrón, squash, or refried beans. It is typically accompanied by curtido (a spicy fermented cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa, and is traditionally eaten by hand.
