One of the strong cultural differences I've noticed here among Latinos and Quebecers is related to the food. In general, Quebecers eat lots of fast foods and many foods frozen. Latinos, on the contrary we have a stronger tendency to cook. This I think is good in terms of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. but I think it can be quite harmful in cholesterol (sometimes eat a lot of fried things).
Regarding the topic, some people have asked me if you can get here typical of Colombia to cook different Creole recipes. The answer is that, generally, if possible. I decided then to make a short list of things that can be obtained and the approximate values.
1. Bananas . They are sold in supermarkets. Usually get about a dollar a pound.
2. Yuccas. They are available in Latino grocery stores. Usually costs between 1.30 and $ 1.70 a pound.
3. Panela. can get in the Latino stores. Costs about $ 2 each panel.
4. Arepas and flour to make arepas. The stores sold in Latin. Prices vary because sell corn arepas with cheese, cassava, etc.
5. Avocados . It is available in supermarkets and Latino stores. The selling is the Hass avocado, which is much smaller than the avocado we know in Colombia. Normally brought from Mexico. Each avocado can cost about $ 1.30.
6. Other products. In supermarkets you can find other products such as gooseberries, figs, etc. but usually the prices are somewhat high. In stores you can get gas Latino Colombian, milo, chocolate jet, etc.
take this opportunity to invite readers to visit the website of the Latin Store which we ourselves, which is called "Cravings Latinos and has just launched its website.
