El Salvador is a country full of history, resilience, and incredible flavors, yet it’s often overlooked by travelers. In this episode, I sit down with Ingrid, a writer and comedian Ingrid, who shares insights into Salvadoran cuisine, from pupusas to fermented foods.
She takes us beyond the usual narratives to share what makes El Salvador truly special—from its deep Indigenous roots to the way history has shaped its cuisine.
Learn about unexpected cultural overlaps with Korean and Mediterranean flavors, the role of corn and rice flour, and how migration has influenced food, shaping flavors both in El Salvador and abroad.
Plus, hear about Ingrid’s favorite pupusa filling and the best way to enjoy this iconic dish!
If you’ve ever been curious about El Salvador or want a deeper understanding of its food and culture, this conversation is for you. Hit play and join us on this journey! 🎧✨
