Vanmorgen een stevig ontbijtje genomen. De traditionele Gallo pinto ( gespikkelde haan) bestaat vooral uit zwarte bonen met rijst. ’s Morgens wordt er ei en tortilla’s bijgedaan. Het wordt ook gegeten tijdens de lunch maar danmet vlees, kip of vis.

Waarom de naam Gallo pinto:

Nicaraguans tell a funny story though of a guy under the name of don Alfredo, a rich farmer who had a very healthy speckled rooster we was fattening up for roasting. As the day of the feast approached don Alfredo would invite everyone he saw on the street, after of course bragging about the size of the rooster, etc. The day of the feast everyone in the village showed up expecting their juicy piece of the rooster. After seen the amount of people who attended Don Alfredo realize he had made a mistake, no matter how fat the rooster was, there was no way to feed everyone with it. He then rushed to the kitchen and asked his maids to cook a huge pile of rice and beans which he gave to the invitees so they wouldn’t go home hungry. It was pretty disappointing for the villagers who, in the days to follow the ‘feast’ began to mock proud don Alfredo, asking each other questions like ‘did you enjoy don Alfredo’s Gallo Pinto?’ and from there the name stuck.
