Perhaps you´ve been in Nicaragua too long, when...you feel that something´s missing if you don´t have gallo pinto for breakfast. Gallo pinto is a mixture of small red beans and rice, and is the fundamental course of the Nicaraguan breakfast (and dinner). Since arriving in Nicaragua the author has had gallo pinto for breakfast on all but three occasions. Once, I was served Swedish style pancakes and french toast. Admittedly, this was a good change; the pancakes were excellent. But on two other occasions I was told that there was no gallo pinto--only small red beans.
It´s truly sad to have breakfast without gallo pinto.
