The hummus plate appetizer. This is a prime example of why I truly hate most American cuisine. We cut straight for the fryer without any real attention to the subtle joys of a healthy diet. You have to struggle, hard, to find real healthy alternatives and to choose them amidst a menu of appealing lard. In Nicaragua, natural and healthy is the norm not the exception! Essential to this is the overwhelming presence of locally-grown produce. I eat cucumber and raw tomato in this country because they are delicious and fresh. Outstanding produce is not a treat afforded only in late summer, or to those with $$ for imported organics. When I left the USA, every month I was living was probably taking off 2 months of my life span. This country is my antidote. It´s very hard to resist the temptation of living in a country like this. I don´t have to fight to keep myself healthy here; there is no struggle when I am surrounded with options like this.
