La Nourriture, La Comida, L’alimento, and Sapadu. All have a different interpretations, but all have one meaning, food. To be well nourish is a wonderful resource to have everyday life. Food can be a life source, a gift from above, a religious relic, anything we can imagine. Even though we take it for granted it should be something to be grateful to have.

I am American-Salvadorian. Primarily I was born in the United States; however, my parents were born and raised in El Salvador, tiny country in Central America that no one really knows about.

My family and I strong believers of the catholic religion. We all were raised by the catholic religion. There is an event in the religion called quaresima. Quaresima has the Latin word of Quadragesima which means forty days fast. American Catholics know this event by the name of Lent. In Lent we are to sacrifice/ promise to not eat a certain food whether it is chicken, red meat, chips, etc. to account for Jesus’s action in the forty days where the unholy one tempted him. After Lent the following event is la ultimo cena. Which means the last supper. This was based on the last supper that our savior Jesus Christ participated in before giving his life up for our sins. In the last supper according to the bible Jesus ate torta de pescado (fish). My family and I make torta de pescado to appreciate the sacrifice that was made many years
