    As a white Latina person here, (from Brazil) I can say, EVERYONE in Brazil eats rice and beans pretty much every day. No matter what social class you are, rich, poor, or your background, Asian Brazilians for example, all of us, eat rice and beans. It is the bestest food! And, I introduced it to my Swedish husband, who now only asks me to cook rice and beans. I recommend people try it. Use bacon on your beans too, onions, garlic, and season well... Very important...

    Me as afrolatina and brazilian love to see it! I'll be watching the whole series.
    I've learned how to cook rice and beans from my mom, it's really nice to see the differences between the recipes from other latino countries.
    Bet all of them was delicious, but I love my beans juicy and creamy.

    LOVED THIS! Once Alana said she deviated from traditional I knew it might not be hit. Sometimes when you make food for a group of people, they are expecting a certain flavor and throwing it off with a new ingredient that changes the flavor profile (eg: vinegar) can realllly not mesh with the people tasting it. Loved how nice all the contestants were!

It’s funny how I can personally feel very bonded with others via food. Even though our ways of making the dish vary, at the end of the day its arroz con frijoles. There’s a shared history there.

      Are rice and beans a large part of your meals? I ask this because I am not too close to anyone in the Mexican culture. But all the Mexican restaurants I've been to make rice and beans usually a small side, where the tacos are highlighted or the enchilada or tamal is like the highlight of the meal.
      I am venezuelan and grew up in south fl and most of the Caribbean cultures seem to give you excessive amounts of rice and beans, and they tend to be more or the star of the show in the meal, or at least the co star if that makes sense. So I was genuinely curious if it's like that normally, does it vary family to family, or is the rice and beans just a smaller side?

    • @An-kw3ec

      @@AndyGarcia-ch1ci Well that's cuz you're going to restaurants... obviously rice and beans won't be the main dish lol in comparison to a homecooked meal. A lot of mexicans make rice and beans everyday with their meals, it's basically a staple (sometimes just rice, or just beans, or both but always these main ingredients). Usually as a side with a main dish (usually chicken or beef). However it's not uncommon to also eat just straight up rice and beans. Though ours is a bit different like the way we make rice is tomato-based in comparison to the white rice shown here (though maybe that's regional, since I'm sure others eat seasoned white rice).
