Since we arrived in David we´ve been eating in fondas, the Panamanian version of a cocina economica and breakfasting in a cafeteria style restaurant where our breakfast is included in the price of our hotel room, it´s been interesting. The food is tasty, heavy on fried and lots of meat. I am not into french fries for breaking my fast but the smoked pork chop and side of papaya which I ate was pretty good. There were other choices including fish and fried chicken!
Every place where we´ve had breakfast from the beach to the city has offered bisteak, which means beef steak, but in reality is strips of beef sauteed with onions and bell peppers and served with a beef gravy, beats eggs any day, in my opinion.
Apparently Panamanian tortillas are more like sopes than the thin Mexican variety, they also serve holjaldra which is similar to Navajo fry bread.
I have been looking for a Panamanian cookbook, but no luck so far.
My only other culinary thing to report is that just like Cuba and Spain, omelets are also called tortillas here, tortillas de huevo.
