Come with me as I go on a Nicaraguan breakfast street food tour of Rivas, Nicaragua! My friend and guide Carlos and I started off at a vendor selling the Levanta Muerto soup, which they say raises you from the dead! It’s the kind of dish that would be an incredible hangover cure. But you should get there early, as the woman is there every day starting at 6 a.m. DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here I got a large cup of it. It was fantastic! I loved the seafood broth, and there was a lot of meat in there, too. I asked for more chilies to make it spicier. The cabbage in it was very nice. You can also get it with a tortilla and dunk it into the soup. Finally, I pulled out the lobster tail and ate it with the tortilla soaked in the broth. I loved it! Then, I got some fresh orange juice from a vendor. I always prefer fresh juice over juice out of a bottle or a can. It’s pure when it’s fresh, and hasn’t been loaded down with sugar or preservatives. The pulp was fantastic! Then, I got some instant coffee from another vendor for 10 cordobas. It was great! I like my coffee black. It’s not good coffee if it needs sugar and milk! What a way to start our day. We woke up at 4:15 a.m. to catch the ferry at 5:30, and it was now 7 a.m.! We drove through the city to a place where they sell nacatamales, which they cook in a barrel over a fire. They wrap them in banana leaves and then aluminum foil. They’re essentially steamed corn stuffed with a nice amount of pork. They’re very similar to the tamales in Venezuela! In the south of Nicaragua, they eat nacatamales with bread, and in the north, they eat them with tortillas. The bread was nice and fresh. I loved stuffing it into the tortillas like a little taco! I preferred it with the tortilla more, but both were good!
