With Mexican food having long since swept across the nation, and certainly having established a real presence in Pennsylvania, eager, adventurous eaters are looking a little further south. Mexico’s cuisine is rightfully regarded as one of the world’s greatest, but the truth is that the country’s neighbors in Central America and beyond have plenty to offer, too.
For example, once difficult to find around most of the state, the pupusa of El Salvador and Honduras is now a real staple throughout it. That griddled cake is based upon the same general kind of nixtamalized corn dough that is used in Mexican tortillas, sopes, and other staples, but it has a particular style and charm of its own.
Among specialists at Hispanic Food Distribution in Pennsylvania, in fact, a special blend of corn dough aimed at producing the best possible pupusas is now widely available. Unlike simple corn tortillas, but like the tamales that are such an important part of the Mexican culinary tradition, a pupusa incorporates fat into the mixture.
While this is traditionally supplied simply by griddling the cake on a generously oiled surface instead of a dry one, many Hispanic Food Distribution companies in the state now offer a product that allows clients to skip this step. The resulting pupusas, most who have tried them feel, are just as delicious and satisfying as those produced by conventional means.
This time-saving innovation is only one of a number that companies that deal in Hispanic Food Distribution in Pennsylvania have come up with recently. In fact, quite a few of these developments center around the same, humble pupusa. Pre-made, frozen pupusas that already contain fillings like Honduran chicanes and an appropriate kind of crumbled cheese, for example, are now easy for restaurateurs to find. Likewise are those that contain the loroco flower that is so distinctively part of everyday cooking in El Salvador, Guatemala, and elsewhere.
With the passing of time, then, the available options in terms of Hispanic food in the state are growing quickly. As residents become familiar with and entranced by these new kinds of food, it can be expected that even more in the way of variety will become the norm.
