pupusas

One suggestion, learn to express yourself correctly when posting a comment. Educate yourself because even famous super model Christine Turlington is proud to be Salvadorian, so no loss to that a nobody like you says that they are embarrased to be from El Salvador.

Veronica learn to spell and capitalize when need be!! Not all Salvadoreans are as iggnorant as Veronica!

So,yeah, I just moved to LA and had never even heard of pupusas.
I am from FLA and enjoy Puerto Rican, Cuban, Brazilian (Fala Capoeira!!) and many other
Latin and other cultures, people and Foods. (Try Ethiopian if u get a chance).
So I moved to LA and driving around the valley, I always see signs for Pupusas and Pupuserías.
I went walking around Lincoln Heights and finally had one.

It was delicious and unique, just like the el Salvadorian culture, Im sure.
I am Italian American with some European thrown in there(some might consider me a white boy, though I find the term equally amusing and insulting.

I love the variety and color of all of the different cultures. Korean, Japanese, Thai, Angolan, Carribean, you name it. People are so interesting and beautiful.

Plus I love just about any food, from anywhere, especially if I have the fortune to have the means to pay for it, or if I am shown the kindness to be given it as a gift.

I lived in Korea for a year, and was miserable and lonely in the Army, and this beautiful Korean family took me in and fed me all different sorts of delicious Korean dishes, all varied and foreign to me.

But that's me. If you're life is about the show Gossip Girls, Jonas Brothers and "that boy you like in gym class", I guess I feel sorry for you. But, I will let you know that you sound like a rich, dumb, white girl.
In fact, its that attitude that makes Americans so resented the world over.

But, you'll figure it out. Eventually.

Ignorance is killing you Veronica.

I tasted my first pupusas yesterday and it definitely hit the spot.

So I looked up how to make it and landed on this site.

This is a food site isn't it?

Whoever Veronica is, no worries, let her be her.

For the guy who said he is El Salvadorian and was trash talking his own people/country - dude, I'm the same way but have more respect for that is your heritage and nothing is going to change that.

You say you hate them which I have always said that the word 'hate' is a small word with a large meaning to it.

Besides, if there were no El Salvador/El Salvadorians then you wouldn't be here.

Expand your mind and your horizons will grow.

Peace.

Hey,I disagree with you Veronica, I was born in El Salvador, I live in Mexico and I have many friends that are rich and poor that are from Mexico, USA and from El Salvador. I love all Mexican, American food but no way I will give up the Pupusas they are the best and will not change a dish if I will be given a dish to choose to eat tacos, hamburger or pupusa I will choose Pupusa because I love them. My wife's family love pupusas. I am sorry you have a poor mentality and that you are such an idiot.God Bless El Salvador.

i'm mexican and i love pupusas!!!!! i LOVE SALVADORAN PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY FRIENDLY :) PLUS MY DAUGHTER IS SALVADORAN!!!!! VERONICA I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE U DON'T LOVE YOURSELF AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH U HATE YOUR ORIGIN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT YOU ARE NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HATE IT!!! YOU WILL BE SALVORADORAN UNTILL YOUR LAST BREATH!!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD GOD PUT YOU IN YOUR CULTURE BECAUSE GOD IS PERFECT AND MAKES US ALL ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE.

I was googling a recipe for pupusas and found these horrible comments. Especially, the pupusa between the leg bit was terribly offensive.
I'm sorry I found this website it really degrades us, Salvadoran.

I think along with Pupusas, El Salvadoran food it great. All should try you'll be hooked. Now my response to the Veronica comment. Anyone who reads her comment will quickly gather just by reading it; it comes from a uneducated, illiterate and insecure person. For you Veronica too bad you don't like to speak spanish but by reading all the errors on your comment, you haven't yet mastered the english language even after living here so long. So next time you want to express yourself "check yourself first." So sad to read that you are 100% Salvadoran, so insecure and thinks so little of her culture.

Veronica not liking Pupusas doesn't surprise me; her statement says it all. Veronica has poor taste!

I hate to be blunt, but I think your comments illustrate what's meant by the term "self-hating." I have to say I disagree with you on all your points except for the fact that Salvadorans are poor. Many are. But that's not a reason to hate them or be embarassed by them or your Salvadoran heritage. I personally love pupusas. I got a great cheese pupusa at a street fair last Labor Day and it was perfect. I fed it to my toddler and he looooooved it!

Well, I beg to differ on your ignorant comment "Veronica", I'm a very successful dentist residing in San Salvador, and though our country is small it's NOT poor. I enjoy pupusas from time to time, they're great snacks or a good meal; My favorite are cheese with loroco. Now... Please do tell me, and do enthrall me, what's your last name? Exactly. You have no honorific background to declare yourself a member of Salvadorean Royalty you retarded woman. Our country El Salvador consist of wonderful people some poor, some rich, but great nonetheless. You're the scum ruining our great country's image. Who do you think you are? You don't even reach my ankle as far as education, success and family stand go. Do I sound like a snob? Sure, but I can, but you? Ha! At least I don't degrade our hard-working fellow Salvadoreans and our wonderful country, you don't deserve to be called a Salvadorean! You're trash, nothing more!

Sorry for the tantrum gentlemen, but people like Veronica are ruining our country's image.

Veronica,

I first have to make it a point that I am Salvadorian and a very proud one at that. I was not born there but both my parents and the rest of their family was. I was brought up with as much Salvadorian culture my family could pour me with and I must say that I am thankful to be a part of a beautiful culture. Poor countries are all over the world. Even in the US do we have many poor communities that aren't much different than the ones in El Salvador. I must say that regardless of their economical status most of those "poor and ugly" (as you said) people are hard working and humble humans that did not choose the life they have but where handed down all they have ever known.

I am proud and thankful to have such a different and unique culture behind me and I wouldn't change it for the world. It's a shame that you don't think the same, however I'm sure that El Salvador, the beautiful and diverse small country that it's proud to be, has many people that appreciate the culture and many envy.

Good Luck, cause in my opinion you can't be anything successful in life unless you are successful in your OWN identity.

You are such an idiot and what you're really saying is that you hate yourself...not EL SALVADOR. I don't know why people like you even bother to comment...just shut your mouth and keep your idiotic, narrow minded, self loathing attitude...to YOURSELF.

WOW!!! Ignorance is a bliss!! I am actually embarrased to think that you and I share the same heritage. I was actually born in the U.S. and grew up with the finer things in life (I am not saying this to brag) however I admire the people that are back home struggling and living each day. I grew up in NY and dine at expensive restaurants BUT I will never give up the delicious dishes that are exclusive to El Salvador.
