A while back I was reading a blog or a travel log where someone had traveled in Mexico and Central America and he or she was talking about eating comida típica. I am a threat to try exotic foods so I googled comida típica to see what it was. I discovered that it just meant typical food or food commonly served. In the region in question, that turned out to be rice, beans, salsa, tortillas and maybe some pork or chicken. Kind of like a #3 at your local Mexican restaurant.
I had not though of comida típica for awhile until last night. I was eating supper over at Lindas and we were having chicken, mac and cheese, peas, sliced tomatoes and onion. It dawned on me that for the time of year and place we were, that we were having comida típica for supper.
