Honduras

Group E - HONDURAS

What is it?


Baleadas! Refried beans folded in tortilla, with a basic accompaniment of sour cream and cheese (they would normally use summat similar to feta but I couldn’t grab anything vegetarian so just went with the cheese in my fridge).

How was it?

This was warming. The gruff saltiness of the beans meshed perfectly with the cooling edge of the cream, and the cheese added a nice edge. Texture-wise it was a bit gloopy, sitting somewhere between porridge and soup, but despite this the overall taste was good.

Overall:

This was very quick and easy to put together, and was fun to eat too. It made me feel warmed within which was a good sign. It certainly has some textural shortcomings which could be easily remedied by the addition of further ingredients (this version of the baleada I had was pretty basic, and often they contain scrambled eggs amongst other things). A solid performance.


If it was a Honduran footballer?

Physical, but with the potential for more subtlety and nuance, we’re looking at violent but occasionally dynamic full-back Emilio Izaguirre.
