Rice, Beans, and corn-based tortilla is cheap.
You didn't talk about meat? Meat, pork, chicken, and beef is a real staple for many non-vegetarians in North America. Is it by choice, or cost, that prevents people from adding meat to a dish there?
I eat meat, and am not necessarily proud to admit it, but I am use to doing it. Curious on your thoughts.
This one blog post, could end up being 10 blog posts if we take questions like this and continue to explore the differences. I am now following you on steemit to see what else you have to say. :)
yes, you are right. People eat meat too. Actually a lot. The quality is not good and the cooking method could be way improved. During my trip in Latino America I thought so many times about the tough life of vegetarians and vegans in this countries. Many people do not even know what being vegetarian is. I met people that think that it means 'without red meat', which makes chicken and fish eligible for the veg recipes.
Normal people eat meat because it is cheap (chicken is very affordable as every family have at least one). There are chickens everywhere. And when I say everywhere I really mean it. People also eat meat because of tradition, culture and lack of knowledge (this last point in the sense that they do not even consider different cuisines or different cooking methods).
Said that, the point is the UX learning behind all of this. Which are a lot and we can find even in this conversation. :)
