Culture
Food Customs at Ceremonial
Occasions. Salty appetizers are
served at parties and at bars and
restaurants. Maize tamales are
prepared by hand for Christmas.
Other special occasions (birthdays,
graduations, marriages) may merit a
roasted pig, an elaborate cake, or
other sweets.

Food
Food in Daily Life. Maize is
consumed as tortillas, which
accompany rice and beanstypically
eaten three times a day with eggs,
cheese, meat, or chicken and with
chayote stew or salad at lunch or
supper. The midday meal was once
the largest, but the long lunch break
has succumbed to a fondness for fast
food.
