dominican cuisine...

 
the cuisine from Dominican Republic is made up of a combination of tainos, spanish, and african influences. Dominican food is very similar to the other latin american countries the only difference are the names. In Dominican Republic the food is very important that is why the breakfast, the luch, and the dinner have the same importance. A good dominican breakfast is mangú (mashed boiled plantain), boiled cassava, or other root vegetable accompanied with fried eggs, fried cheese, or salami; for every dominican this is a great way to start a good day. Similar to Spain, lunch usually consist of some type of meat(chicken, pork, beef, or fish), rice, and beans, and any kind of salad. "La Bandera" is the name of our main dish, and if you go to any restaurant and you ask for "La Bandera" you will be eating a nice dish with white rice, beans, meat, and salad. And for dinner people usually prepare any kind of pasta with bread, dominican dinner depends of what people want in the moment.

Since we are a very productive island our cuisine is very varied, and you can find any kind of seafood everywhere you go, also a lo of vegetables, meat, rice, and root vegetables. In Dominican Republic the food is very healthy and natural, and most the people on the countrysides have their own crops to supply their needs.
