Very tasty, different and full of Latin American cuisine flavors dish. I tasted this stew for the first time at my mother-in-law home. For me it was unrealistically tasty.

Kroketai su šonine/Ham croquettes
Tiesiog dievinuuuu šiuos kroketukus! Vienas iš tokių užkandžių, kurio paragavęs negali sustoti, galima valgyt ir valgyt, kol ištuštės lėkštė.

Lietuviškai vertinys skamba tikrai keistai, bet kitaip nepavadinsi. Vieną skaniausių tres leches paskutiniu metu ragavau greito maisto restorane “Pollo tropical“. Šis restoranų tinklas JAV labai populiarus, nes…

Since in the United States are quite a lot of Mexicans, especially in Florida, so here carnitas is pretty popular. Restaurants and fast food places can often offer carnitas…
