Jesus, fuck are these things good. I can't think of a better use for masa flour. I'd never even tried them until about five years ago when I moved to a more Latino heavy neighborhood. Now they're probably one of my favorite foods.
I fucking love Pupusas. First had them on a trip to San Francisco, then started eating them regularly when I moved to Denver. I like the bean/cheese/chicharron combo; with the curtido and salsa, the whole thing is like a Carolina pulled pork sandwich by way of Central America. I usually add hot sauce because I'm Mexican and Salvadorans are pussies when it comes to heat, but they're still delicious.
Eli Howard
Well, they're fucking delicious that's what I think.
Owen Edwards
first had one at a food truck, was really good. not one of those hipster food trucks but the roach coaches that show up at construction sites at lunch time and break time
Thomas Sullivan
One of the best things about working for a Mexican supermarket was having the option to get these for lunch. The simple cheese filled ones with added tapatio sauce was my shit. It was hell on my waistline though.
James Allen
had to google these. now I wanna make some pretty bad. fuck.
Matthew Peterson
>predominately European Mexican and Venezuelan women have nice tits but lacking figures >mulatto Dominican woman has the best of everything Maybe there is something to be said about the merits of miscegenation.
Robert Robinson
Timely post. I just ate papusas for the first time at an El Salvadoran restaurant yesterday. It was fantastic. I really enjoyed the cactus, jalapeƱo, and cheese one.
Easton Thompson
How do I make pupusa
Blake Thomas
My Honduran friend's grandmother makes these, they're fuggin good
Daniel Morgan
They're basically quesadillas made with a smaller, thicker, and softer tortilla served with a side of lightly pickled cabbage.
Jace Ramirez
It's like a cross between a tamal and a quesadilla. You stuff fillings into a circular piece of masa dough and fry them.
Dylan Thomas
Quesadillas (in my hood they're called sincronizadas) are made with wheat flour tortillas, whereas pupusas are all masa.
Jason Lee
Thanks. I probably should have at least googled it before I typed that. That was basically the description I texted my wife while eating them for the first time.
Isaiah Clark
The dough is just masa and water. The filling is either beans, cheese or pork (or a mix of all three, my fave). The cheese is a white low moisture cow's milk cheese similar to mozzarella. The only secret ingredient is lorocco, (an herb) which you can get at Latino markets.
Elijah Hill
There's an El Salvadorean restaurant very close to me where I've tried their pupusas, and they were honestly pretty bland. They weren't bad but I was expecting more flavor.
Nathan Brooks
First time I had them was with my wife, and she totally flipped her shit over them. Might have helped that we'd just moved to the neighborhood, and a Salvadorian family had set up plastic tables and a comal in front of a church, and was selling them (with the slaw and tamarind drinks) for $1.50 each. So we got lunch on the sidewalk for like $6. It was a nice experience as we were falling in love with our new 'hood. And since then we've found four or five restaurants near us that make them. Total affordable indulgence that makes for a great cheap date. Even if we have a couple beers with them it's hard to break $20. They ought to come with some sauce and a spicy slaw. Eat that with them and they'll be anything but bland.
Samuel Fisher
>Friendly discussion about food >Find a way to insult Salvadorians Yup, you're Mexican alright
William Sullivan
I said the food was good, but it's a fact that they cannot handle spicy foods.
Henry Jackson
Pupusas are not mexican right? Or is it a thing in the south?
It sounds too much like a dirty word.
Tyler Butler
They hypersensitivity probably comes from the fact that there is a pecking order based on country of origin within the Latino diaspora, and Salvadorians are nowhere near the top of it.
Connor Morgan
Kempf is that you
Jordan James
National dish of San Salvador, but in places where Salvadorians and Mexicans live side by side many Mexican joints make them. The best ones in my neighborhood come from a Mexican joint that just happens to have some Salvadorian customers.
Matthew Hall
How is this not a paratha
Hudson Wright
Because it's made with masa (nixtamalized corn flour) instead of wheat.
Juan Scott
Oh, I see. I haven't really had Salvadorian food, I will have to try it one day.
Are they made of the same masa as tortillas? Or is it more like the south american corn flour for arepas?
Ethan Walker
Hmm, what difference does this make to the taste. Does it taste tart?
Carson Garcia
paratha is made of wheat, retard.
Dylan Torres
>Are they made of the same masa as tortillas? Tastes like it. Huge difference in taste and texture. Like the filnty flavor of corn tortillas, but thicker so more toothsome. Doesn't taste at all like wheat.
Josiah Hall
I make my curtido spicy, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Daniel Diaz
I like it spicy.
Grayson Thomas
I don't have a griddle. Can I use a pan to make these?
Henry Wright
yes
Gavin Ortiz
What fillings do you like?
Andrew Bell
In My 'hood the options are seasoned pork or beans and cheese or all three together. I like all three together best.
Eli Gomez
>my family is salvadoran >me being tall and not spic looking >have only ever dated white girls >show them all the majesty of papusas >every single one has genuinely loved them >they will think of me for the rest of their lives every time they eat one feels good man
pork bean and cheese is the way to go everything else is just wrong
wouldnt have expected to have ever seen a papusa thread on Veeky Forums to be honest
Landon Howard
none of those countries make papusas mexicans make tacos, they dont know shit about papusas you should look for salvadoran papusarias, pleb
Jackson Thomas
Isn't that Arianny celeste? she's filipina
Christian Myers
>my family is salvadoran pussy Mexicans can make any kind of food, especially a cuisine as simple as Salvadoran. Regardless of what kind of food you're eating, if you're eating it in America, it's most likely made by Mexicans.
Thomas Hall
corn flour tortilla dough fry up some pork cracklings (thats what white people call chicharon) black refried bean paste and mozzarella
do like your going to make a tortilla flatten out the dough in your hand and then add the filling in the center wrap the tortilla dough around the filling like a dumpling but then flatten it out into its shape slap it on a griddle to fry
its simple as shit really
papusas dont need lorocco thats just a type
Brandon Morales
>Be European >Can't find masa anywhere except overpriced as fuck on webshops I assume regular corn flour or cornmeal won't do
Nathaniel Howard
no there are no mexicans on the east coast thank god you faggots are the worst
fucking chent seriously you are a faggot chent in a thread about papussas insulting the ones who created it kill yourself chent faggot beaner
Dylan Collins
You assume wrong. Make it yourself with cornmeal.
Grayson Stewart
You can make masa yourself by nixtamalizing corn and milling it yourself. There's all kinds of guides on how to do it.
Gabriel Nelson
Get a load of this faggot you guys Not even other latinos like mexicans kek
Landon Reyes
Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of being culturally relevant in America. Salvadorans are lower than fucking Puerto Ricans.
Evan Harris
>being this insecure about being a faggot chent seriously chent go home
Christian Price

Alexander Hughes
Puerto Rican people are the worst. Don't even pretend this is an argument.
Ryder Walker

Carson Young
>now hes attacking ricans did someone take your boyfriend from you?
Brody Green
Where can you buy the right kind of corn?
John Ward
So upset. Dominicans are worse than them, too. They're definitely bottom-tier, don't get me wrong.
Alexander Hill
No I'm a different person but thanks for the compliment.
Jayden Davis

Hudson Foster
>tfw half Puerto Rican, half Mexican
Zachary Jackson
I went to an El Salvadoran restaurant in my city in the middle of Nebraska and my god pupusas are the most delicious thing I've ever had in my life
Justin Miller
this papusas are good salsa free like the heat free ones basically need more life ... so add heat free win mad at the truth
fact remains papusas are very good and just another variation of beans and corn masa, these resemble with a huarache, sope, tlacoyo, gordita on and on mexican food is different because of the added heat component mainly aside from the typical salvadorian loroco regularly used in the dish
best thing about the papusa is the fact that its kinda basically a renamed sope/gordita only meant for children who just aren't ready to handle the heat
Brandon Williams
Haha come to Texas and say that.
Nicholas Perez
no im actually very glad im not mexican mexicans are trash
Camden Hernandez
salvadorans dont make this type of garbage
Zachary Lopez
>mexicans are the best at everything yea meanwhile they eat pig slop, you know inbetween the rapings and beheadings

Michael Allen

Adam Sanchez

Eli Roberts

Jordan Miller
I was about to reply with my confusion to the nigga saying he couldn't find masa
I don't even life in a predominantly spic neighborhood and it's no problem to find it in their food aisle
Benjamin Price
Is there a less aesthetic food word than pupusa? It sounds like poo, looks like pus and reminds me of insect pupae.
Alexander Williams
yea its a bad name thats true
Easton Gomez
>nigga >spic do you actually talk like this? you sound like a faggot
John Hernandez
I think it's cute. Sounds like a little purse to me.
Kevin Adams
Ehh, I live in SF an eat pupusas fairly often. As SF mexi goes its pretty low on the list for me. I prefer tacos, burritos, sopes, tamales, and mole.
