/Sounds like "gah-yoh-PEEN-toh"/
The national dish of Nicaragua and Costa Rica: rice and beans sautéed together with onion, chiltoma (bell pepper), and cilantro. It's sacred breakfast: almost no Nica starts the day without gallopinto, and serving it badly or stingy is a serious domestic insult. Nicaragua and Costa Rica have been arguing about who invented it for decades.
"De desayuno nunca falta el gallopinto. → Gallopinto is always there for breakfast."
"Ese restaurante hace el gallopinto como mi abuela. → That restaurant makes gallopinto like my grandma."
