New Blog!

Welcome to La Baliada! The purpose of this blog is to provide general news and information that pertains to Honduras and Honduran culture. La Baliada refers to one of my favorite Honduran foods, baleadas. The baleada is a simple yet very delicious concoction made up of a flour tortilla, refried red beans, and mantequilla crema (similar to sour cream). Sometimes scrambled eggs are added as well. Baleadas are akin to a sandwich in the U.S. They're very easy to make and offer a quick and tasty way to fill the stomach. I couldn't find a picture of an actual, true life baleada, so please enjoy this picture of prepared refried red beans in a can.

The "i" in La Baliada as opposed to the standard "e" is in reference to internet. Inspired by the meaning behind the name "iMac", La Baliada is like a delicious digital baleada.
