9- A PERFECT MEAL

 The perfect meal in my country would be ARROZ HABICHUELA Y CARNE These are the basic components needed in a full Dominican meal, “arroz, habichuelas y carne” (Rice, Beans, and meat) are typically called “La Bandera” (The flag) due to how close it is to our culture and very foundation just as the Dominican Republic Flag is. While this may not seem like something only made for the Dominican Community, this is something that we all live by, and thats why is part of the Dominican culture and most people on the country eat rice everyday it can be rice with some other cain of meat but the beans would never miss in a dominican plate. A dominican have rice meat and beans in their blood if you come from a dominican family or you were born there you know this is true when kids are little they make then eat beans to the babies as their first food. Rice and beans, the name alone say “Latin”, add meat to it and what else do you need? You got your carbs in the rice, you got the fat and the protein in the chicken, and then you got the fiber in the beans, its like imperfect in the book of Dominican Foods! You could literally live off of this stuff, no exaggeration, this is why it’s a part of the Dominican staples when it comes to meals.
