Latin American Cuisine is a phrase that refers to typical foods, beverages, and cooking styles common to many of the countries and cultures in Latin America. Latin America is a very diverse area of land that holds various cuisines that vary from nation to nation. Some items typical of Latin American cuisine include maize-based dishes (tortillas, tamales, pupusas) and various salsas and other condiments (guacamole, pico de gallo, mole, chimichurri, and pebre). These spices are generally what give the Latin American cuisines a distinct flavor; yet, each country of Latin America tends to use a different spice and those that share spices tend to use them at different quantities. Thus, this leads for a variety across the land. Latin American beverages are just as distinct as their foods. Some of the beverages can even date back to the times of the Native Americans. Some popular beverages include mate, pisco, horchata, chicha, atole, cacao and aguas frescas. Desserts in Latin America are generally very sweet in taste. They include dulce de leche, alfajor, Rice pudding, tres leches cake, Teja and flan. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Latin American cuisine" What ethnic cuisine would you recommend in South Florida/Miami? Q. I am looking for some interesting ethnic restaurants in the Miami metro area. Specifically I am interested in Southeast Asian cuisine (*good* Vietnamese would be ok - not interested in mediocre or bland - but more interested in Laotian & Cambodian) and other cuisines that I may not have tried in the past. Of course, Latin American cuisine dominates and staples (Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian, etc.) are common.

Q. The Columbian Exchange By: Cody jones The Columbian Exchange (also sometimes known as The Great Exchange) has been one of the most significant events in the history of world ecology, agriculture, and culture. The term is used to describe the enormous widespread exchange of plants, animals, foods, human populations (including slaves), communicable diseases, and ideas between the Eastern and Western hemispheres that occurred after 1492. Many new and different goods were exchanged between the two hemispheres of the Earth, and it began a new revolution in the Americas and in Europe.
