Yes that is a challenge!
Because I was feeling down because I missed talking to Ned today, and I love Latino cultures and food, and because I needed to try some new food for a class assignment (I know. I have the coolest classes.) I tried some El Salvadorian food tonight!
If anyone who is in Provo is interested on going there on a date, the restaurant is just off center street past 300 w. It is called El Salvador Restaurant (hard to miss with that name).
I ran into Elder Miller (who served in our ward) and his fiance. They were so sweet and helped me order as they raved about how wonderful you all are. Miller loves our family and especially mom.
So the moment you are all waiting for. I ordered:
Bean and Cheese Pupusas and (yes) a mandarin Jarritos.
Pupusas kind or reminded me of a sopapillas/pita and a burrito. The beans and cheese are between the pita-like substance and then you top it with lettuce and sauce.
They were good, but to be honest I would much rather have a bean and cheese burrito from Robertos. And as for a Jarritos: I had often heard great things about them (but never had one being one who doesn't really like soda), and it was a nice flavor, but definitely made me feel sick from all the carbonation. ;)
Overall it was a fun experience and made me want to try more exotic and cultural foods. Any suggestions?
