F is for Foodie Treat: Costa Rica on the menu.

A typical offering here in Costa Rica - Casados con Carne or Pollo



A marriage of rice and beans is the staple on our menus - for breakfast they are combined, at lunch they are separated, vegetables are simple and fresh, and the fried plantains are a yummy punch of sweetness. One breakfast I even had some on toast with honey. Cassava croquettes are quite delicious too as was the fried fish.

All works so well. I so enjoyed all my rice dishes - with chicken, with shrimps...

Loads of fresh fruits are available, in season are mangoes, pawpaws, melon, bananas, heady, sweet pineapple and watermelon. Delicious fruit juices.

Another gem is a small serving of rice pudding for after a meal. Rich, creamy and so good.

Fresh bounty wherever we went.
