    Being Nicaraguense I am not neutral but I have to say that I love the food from my country I think it is great and I wish it was more exposed to people here in the states

      I love how a true Nicaraguan saw this video!! I love the food as well! I made this video because I felt Nicaraguan food was under appreciated and under exposed. Hopefully we can change that gradually! 🙏😊🙏😊

      I agree! I’m Nicaragüense too! My mom makes these exact dishes and it’s so cool to see it being recognized 😁

      @@jennyfur.h yes right! I think people only associate hispanics with Mexican or Puerto Rican style food and we have sooooo much more and great flavors in Nicaraguan cuisine. We don't have enough places out of Miami that expose others to put food

    Baho in Nicaragua is never served with rice. The only reason I can think they serve it with rice is to be able to give you a smaller portion of the baho itself. I lived in the US for over 30 years and ate baho cooked and sold by nica ladies and they would give you rice with it, but as any good nica would say, please no rice. They didn't like it but complied because they knew that Baho like nacatamal is the meal all by itself.
