The Best Honduran Food To Try On Your Next Honduras Cruise

Honduran food is as unique as its home country’s landscapes, appealing to anyone who, like me, craves tropical ingredients, heart-warming spices, sweet seafood or perfectly cooked beans. In this Central American country, travelers can find the bounty of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean paired with the sunlit produce of the volcanic farmlands. The result is a foodway shaped by techniques like banana leaf steaming and ingredients such as plantains and shrimp. It’s the best of Central American flavors — Honduran cuisine is communal, vibrant, flavorful, casual and evocative of the jade-hued jungle and beaches. It’s got heart, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with it. Needless to say, the food in Honduras alone is worth a trip.

These Are The Comfort Foods West Coasters Swear By

The West Coast, my homeland, is famous for its massive mountains, beaches, vibrant cities, and, of course, ridiculously good food. From highland berries to wild seafood to luxurious mushrooms, the ingredients in the wild are outstanding. Meanwhile, food traditions from Scandinavian, Latin American, Eastern Asian, Italian, and Pacific cultures have greatly contributed to the culinary heritage of the region — today, you can find the best spaghetti of your life in San Diego, teriyaki in Seattle, street tacos in Los Angeles, sushi in Portland, and curry in San Francisco. As a native to the West Coast, I'm proud of this colorful tapestry. I love that where I live in the greater Seattle area, I can find world-famous pie, sandwiches, dumplings, and mussels within 20 minutes of my house. The comfort food is the best part, and there are so many dishes to have on your radar. So, here are the comfort foods that West Coasters swear by.
