Eric Sylvester English 102 February 21, 2013 Louisiana is known for its diverse culture and traditions. One of the most well-known traditions Louisiana culture is Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is music, parades, picnics, floats, and excitement for the entire family to enjoy. Everyone is usually wearing purple, green, and gold colors, and people are adorned with long colorful beads and goodies that are caught from the beautiful decorated floats. During Mardi Gras, most families sit on the ground throwing balls, playing music, having a picnic, and watching crowds of people walk between the floats.
B. For the past two years, El Paso has been put in the map for festivals like these due to their success. [Aside from these events bringing quality music to our ears it brings us together with people from the outside.] II. The Sun City Music Festival was drawn to not only people from El Paso but also people from outside the city.
The families there have fun going to the special event in church. After they went to Misa de Galo, the great dinner begins. There is chicken or roasted turkey with rice and salad typically for dinner. Pupusas and tamales can be served as well. Their beverages are soda, wine, beer, and horchata.
And it is not uncommon for members of parade Krewes to spend an average of $800-$2,000 per parade ride on the beads that they will toss over the course of their parade route. Also, Krewes must submit their bead orders in September to ensure that they will be ready for Carnival season early the next year. In recent years the distribution of beads has been equated to rowdy behavior. This has mainly involved men demanding that women show certain parts of their bodies to earn their beads. Many long-time Mardi Gras attendees will point out that this mainly happens in the French Quarter and not along the actual parade route, where the fun and true purpose of Mardi Gras continues to prosper.
The Jamaican festival “Negril on the Green” was this huge family cookout on five acres of land outdoors. The event occurs every Sunday afternoon from 12 noon until 2 am the next morning. We brought our own lawn chairs, blankets and coolers with cold beverages and some desserts as well. As we walked to find a spot to sit I could smell the heavenly scents of jerk chicken, jerk pork, and fried fish lingering through the air. The music from the bands was lively although I could not understand all of the lyrics but I clapped along away.
Each type is served on two overlapped small tortillas and sometimes garnished with guacamole, salsa, onions, and cilantro (coriander). Also prepared on the grill is a sandwiched taco called mulita ("little mule") made with meat served between two tortillas and garnished with Oaxaca style cheese.

* They can be grilled, baked, or fried, depending on personal taste. * Other areas of South America quickly picked up the recipe, and arepas became, and continue to be, extremely popular. * Plain arepas are very common, but so are filled and topped ones. In Colombia especially, many cooks top their arepas with ingredients like butter or cheese. Arepas rellenas, which are filled with different ingredients, are also very popular.
