Main Courses

The intention of this site is to help proliferate the flavors of
Puerto Rico.

There are, of course, many more main courses than listed here, so I'll list a few at a time, so you can try them out and let me know how you like them!

Puerto Rico, like any country, has its regional culinary differences, due to the availability of livestock or seafood.

Thus, you can now surf and turf with the best of them, since conch, red snapper, shrimp are all staples of the coastal islander's fare...

And although fowl, pork and beef were traditionally the only meats used by the country folk living in the interior parts of the island, here you'll get a sampling of all of these regions, and their influences...

So stop your grinning and pull out your linens, and get ready for a "banquete"...
