Cuisine
One of Creeperopolis' notable dishes is the pupusa. Pupusas are handmade corn tortillas (made of masa de maíz or masa de arroz, a maize or rice flour dough used in Creeperian cuisine) stuffed with one or more of the following: cheese (usually a soft Creeperian cheese such as quesillo, similar to mozzarella), chicharrón, or refried beans. Sometimes the filling is queso con loroco (cheese combined with loroco, a vine flower bud native to Creeperopolis).
Pupusas revueltas are pupusas filled with beans, cheese and pork. Some coastal restaurants even offer pupusas stuffed with shrimp or fish. The precise origins of the pupusa are debated, although its presence in Creeperopolis is known to predate the establishment of the Old Kingdom
Two other typical Creeperian dishes are yuca frita and panes con pollo. Yuca frita is deep fried cassava root served with curtido (a pickled cabbage, onion and carrot topping) and pork rinds with pescaditas (fried baby sardines). The Yuca is sometimes served boiled instead of fried. Pan con pollo/pavo (bread with chicken/turkey) are warm chicken-filled submarine sandwiches. The bird is marinated and then roasted with Castillianan spices and handpulled. This sandwich is traditionally served with tomato and watercress along with cucumber, onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, and mustard.
One of Creeperopolis' typical breakfasts is fried platanos (plantain/bananas), usually served with cream or sugar.
"Maria Luisa" is a dessert commonly found in Creeperopolis. It is a layered cake that is soaked in orange marmalade and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
A popular drink that Creeperans enjoy is orchata, a drink native to the Salvador. Orchata is most commonly made of the morro seed ground into a powder and added to milk or water, and sugar. Orchata is drank year-round, and can be drank at any time of day. It mostly is accompanied by a plate of pupusas or fried yuca. Orchata from Creeperopolis has a very distinct taste and is not to be confused with Atlántidan orchata, which is rice-based. Coffee is also a common morning beverage.
Other popular drinks in Creeperopolis include Ensalada, a drink made of chopped fruit swimming in fruit juice, and Kolachampan, a sugar cane-flavored carbonated beverage.
One of the most popular desserts is the cake Pastel de tres leches (Cake of three milks), consisting of three types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream.
