What Is Mofongo The Worst Food

Decent Essays
The worst food ever is mofongo. The dish mofongo comes from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a place where plantains are loved and always eaten. But the Puerto Ricans may have gone a bit far with this dish despite plantains being the main ingredient. Mofongo is the worst food because it tastes weird, it is too dry, and it is too crumby.
First of all, mofongo has an odd taste. Mofongo is mostly just smashed plantains so it tastes sweet since it is a type of banana. Unfortunately, garlic sauce is added to the dish, giving mofongo a sweet, garlicy taste.
Another reason as to why mofongo is the worst food is because it is too dry. Mofongo is dry because it contains dry ingredients. Plantains may be soft on the inside but are dry and slightly crispy

    Maize and chiles were used extensively by the poorer people, and rarely seen among the wealthy. Chocolate, however, attained elite status in Europe, but didn't spread to Asia or Africa before the 19th century. Despite the juxtaposition of maize being associated with being poor and dirty, tortillas and early “tacos” began appearing on dinner tables in such places as Guam even before the modern global spread of Mexican cuisine. Pilcher also describes the growing popularity of flour tortillas and burritos and their integration into regional meals and restaurant items in the American Southwest. Ultimately, Pilcher argues that tacos are a relatively recent culinary phenomenon, which makes it worldwide popularity even more impressive.…
