Cojutepeque:
Se encuentra a 28 km al oriente de San Salvador, en las faldas del Cerro de las Pavas.
El pueblo de Cojutepeque es uno de los más antiguos de El Salvador, existiendo en tiempos precolombinos desde que migrantes nahuas se establecieran en cantón cujuapa el arenal y cantón ojo de agua base de asentamientos nahuas

La palabra Cojutepeque es de origen Náhuat 
Esta localidad, la más importante del departamento de Cuzcatlán, fue fundada por indios yaquis o pipiles. El nombre Cojutepeque viene de dos voces o raíces del idioma nahuat, a saber: coju, pava; tepec, cerro, montaña, localidad donde kuyut: coyote y tepet: cerro, significando realmente Cerro de coyotes.

Reconocida por su variedad de embutidos,
En Cojutepeque encontrará varios platillos típicos, pero los más conocidos son sus embutidos (chorizos, butifarras y salchichones), que acostumbran a vender mujeres al paso de los autobuses interurbanos que transitan por la Carretera Panamericana.

Los chorizos de Cojutepeque son bien conocidos en todo el país: de hecho, es posible comprarles en muchas ciudades de El Salvador, y no solamente en Cojutepeque. Los chorizos son hechos de carne de cerdo, carne de res, sal, especias y hierbas, achiote, sal de cura, y otros preservantes.

La pizza è un'icona della cucina italiana che ha conquistato il palato di milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. La sua origine affonda le radici nella città di Napoli, dove venne preparata per la prima volta nel XVIII secolo. La vera pizza napoletana è riconoscibile per la sua base sottile e soffice, cotta in forno a legna a temperature elevate per ottenere una crosta croccante e un centro morbido. I condimenti tipici includono pomodoro, mozzarella di bufala, basilico fresco e olio d'oliva.

Oggi, la pizza ha assunto molte varianti, come la pizza margherita, con il suo mix di sapori semplici e autentici, o la pizza marinara, che esalta l'aroma degli ingredienti di base come l'aglio e l'origano. Inoltre, ci sono pizze gourmet con combinazioni creative di ingredienti come prosciutto, funghi, rucola e formaggi speciali. 
La pizza è diventata talmente popolare che oggi è possibile trovarla in ogni angolo del mondo. Tuttavia, la tradizione e l'autenticità della vera pizza napoletana rimangono intatte e sono riconosciute come Patrimonio Immateriale dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO.
La pizza è uno dei piatti più amati e rappresentativi dell'Italia, che unisce sapori deliziosi, convivialità e tradizione. Buon appetito!

From cheap student dinners to quick lunches and easy camping meals, people around the world love instant noodles.

According to the World Instant Noodle Association, the world ate more than 118 billion servings of instant noodles in 2021.

While they are easy to make, instant noodles can sometimes be a bit boring — but they don't have to be! So if you'd like your instant noodles to be a little tastier, here are some easy changes you can make:

Add flavor
Fresh ginger, green onions and garlic are found in many Asian dishes, and adding them to your instant noodles is an easy way to improve the taste.

Then, try adding extra sauces, like soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil or gochujang paste, among others. You could also try mixing a few of them together.

Add vegetables and eggs
Adding vegetables and eggs to your noodles will not only make them taste better — they'll also increase the nutrients in the dish.

Put an egg into the boiling water that your noodles are cooking in for an easy poached egg. You can also throw in some vegetables — like mushrooms, carrots or spinach — or cook them on their own and add them to your noodles afterward.

Add coconut milk
Add coconut milk to the noodle water to make a sweeter, creamier soup. You could then add some vegetables, meat or fish, and some lime and you'll end up with a dish that's similar to a Malaysian laksa — and just as tasty!
