GASTRONOMY
The Honduran gastronomy is varied since it contains
pre-Columbian, Spanish, Creole and, to some extent, African
elements and flavors, typical throughout the Central American
Atlantic coast.
Traditional Honduran food is heavily
dominated by maize,
an indigenous crop that was the basis of the diet
of the pre-Hispanic people of Mesoamerica.
Although it varies a little in each region of the country, the
Honduran diet includes meats, especially pork and beef;
poultry such as chicken and hen; fish and various seafood
depending on the area, tortillas, beans, rice, dairy products
such as fresh cheese and cream, some vegetables, certain
herbs and tropical fruits. Natural refreshments and coffee, as
an aromatic hot beverage, is accustomed throughout the
country to accompany breakfast, a sweet baked treat in the
afternoon, or dinner.
