However, Central America consists of only seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Also recipes from this region are less famous than North and South American recipes but I believe just as good. Recipes such as Hunita Steamed Corn Tamalas and Red Hook Ceviche are just two of the amazing recipes from this region. If you have a sweet tooth then Cocados are for you, a coconut candy or confectionary.
