Describe a custom from your country that you believe that other countries should adopt.
The Ecuadorian food.
It is known that every country in the world has different customs because each one has different
culture. However, one of the most interesting things that Ecuador has to offer to the world is its
delicious food. Personally, I think that Ecuadorian food should be adopted by different countries
because it is so exotic, it is nutritional, and it is so delicious.
Ecuador has one of the biggest variety of dishes because of its location. It is important to say
that Ecuador is located just in the middle of the world, due to this fact Ecuador has been blessed
with the four environments oceans, tropical jungles, high mountains and plains. All the
environments mentioned give the chance to Ecuador to have a lot of species of fauna and flora
to prepare exotic dishes, which are so exciting to try.
In addition, Ecuador has one of the biggest group of nutritional dishes such as “Patacones” which
are made with green bananas. It is known that bananas are a fount of potassium and glucose.
Another dish is “Encebollado” which is best known for foreign people as fish soup with onions,
this dish is rich in nutrients such as omega 3, unsaturated fats which are important in order to
care of our hearts. It has zinc, vitamin D, vitamin A and fluorine as well.
The final aspect here is that based on some experiences of foreign people registered these last
months it has been noted that Ecuador cuisine is one of the most enjoyed cuisine in the world
because it has a big quality of dishes. One of these tourist said that all of the countries that he
has been visiting in his life, the best food he had ever found he founds in Ecuador. He said that
after try the green bolon which is made with green banana and some cheese inside it. In the
same case, a tourist came from France said that she had tried the famous porky fry which is
prepared by the otavalian people specially. It is important to say that these dishes shine because
they are prepared in a traditional way. For example, porky fry is prepared with an ancestral
recipe from indigenous of the zone of Imbabura.
Finally, because of the three reasons mentioned in the essay I would like that other countries
start to adopt Ecuadorian food. Ecuadorian food has enough credentials to be catalogued as one
of the best cuisines in the world. It is exotic because of the location of Ecuador, it is very
nutritional because of the big variety, and also it is so delicious because it is prepared with the
ancestral recipes of native people.
