    I was just in Costa Rica and had almost all of this. Had gallo pinto every morning, ceviche, Casado 😋, chifrijo and arroz con camarones. I wish they had more Costa Rican food in the states!

    A small detail for the "casado" typical plate, it has a couple origin stories about why it's named that. The first theory states that men would ask the women who typically cook at the sodas for more food and to treat them as "married men" or "casados" in the sense of a home cooked meal like their wives would make (mostly portion size). Another story says that the food is "married" to each other as it's all served together on one plate. Another theory states that a "casado" is the first meal as a married couple has, which has many small dishes to complement the rice and this way the wife will find out on the first day what her husband likes to eat.
    Something fun to think about a typical and traditional Costa Rican lunch dish's name.

    *_confusing idioms_* - At 5:20 Mark meant to say "white whale" not "white elephant." _White elephant_ is essentially useless and unwanted but _white whale_ is the ultimate goal or an obsession in this case referring to CR's fantastic seafood.
    *_Chan_* - "kinda like drinking brains or snot" 😂 I almost spit my beer! I've had lots of chia seed drinks but not chan. Definitely will keep an eye out.
    I haven't had tons of CR cuisine but this seemed really comprehensive. Well done. 👍

    My guys you need to try our all time typical bread "empanada de chiverre" with a tarrazú coffee and you'll see god 🤣
    Also, Caribbean Rice n' beans>gallo pinto....btw thats a good review (im costa rican) here's more things to try: lengua en salsa, frito, escabeche de banano, taco tico, tamal, tamal mudo, tamal asado, panes de maíz guanacasteco, queso palmito, natilla menonita, rondón, panbón, beff patty, sopa de mariscos en leche, olla de carne, sopa de albóndigas, sopa negra, caldosas, empanadas arregladas, pasteles guanacastecos....btw, the plant with conical, white long flowers is an angel bells, it has one of the strongest drugs in the world, its also very poisonous and lethal.....also idk if you know but chan is related to chía seeds, it's very nutritious and refreshes as much as mozote

      ​@@jenn9432 hi there. Just a heads up for anyone reading this comment and wondering the same thing we were before heading to Costa Rica ... and BTW we did spend 3 months in Costa Rica so got some first-hand knowledge of Colones vs. USD. We used Colones a lot, but still USD quite a bit. We seemed to get better prices with Colones too. Hopefully, I didn't really come across pretentious, wasn't meaning to. Was curious since I've traveled to other countries and found that some menus are in local currency and USD and that sometimes they prefer USD. Hopefully, that helps.
