...arrived at the fields last Saturday at noon and lines were already forming for a cart selling pupusas, a flat Salvadorian bread made with maize and stuffed with cheese, pork, or beans. Each pupusa comes with a serving of pickled cabbage. The sharpness of the vinegar cuts the grease of the bread—or so thought the man in front of me.
