All stories about "Pupusas"

More than half a million Salvadorans live in Washington DC, which means that all those DC politicians hating on Mexicans are wasting their time. They're also missing out on pupusas, El Salvador's greatest export after MS-13 and Efren Ramirez. For those gringos not in the know, bienvenidos to the quintessential Central American comfort food: fried cornmeal patties stuffed with grilled-cheese goodness and piled high with curtido (pickled cabbage), then sprinkled with vinegary hot sauce. Yum! Pupusas also come stuffed with other things, like loroco, refried beans, rendered pork fat, or revueltas, but beginners should probably stick to con queso. Let New Yorkers be bagel snobs -- with about a hundred pupuserias in town, we Washingtonians get to be muy picky about our pupusas.
