These pastries, filled with seafood, meat, cheese, vegetables or fruit are wildly popular throughout Latin and South America.Thought to have originated in Spain, where the Empanada Festival is part of Galician culture, the name comes from empanar, or to coat with bread.mpanadas are the traditional Latin version of the hot pocket (an American version). When I was growing up, my mom who is from Spain, and was living in South America, used to make a version with meat, raisins and olives.
Ireland has a wide range of crops, as agriculture is a major part of Ireland's economy. Various grains, like wheat and barley, are common. Many vegetables like potatoes, sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots and turnips, amongst others, are very common.
While there are different varieties of these crops, all are grass plants that contain an edible seed or kernel, called a caryopsis. Grain crops can be processed in different ways to form food such as bread and pasta. The three most common types of cereal crops are rice, wheat, and corn. The term cereal comes from Ceres, the Roman god of agriculture.
