The Mangu

Mangu is a typical dish from the Dominican Republic, made with ingredients such as plantains, onion, salami, cheese, and egg. It is commonly eaten for breakfast or dinner.

Certainly! If you’re Dominican, you can easily eat it at any time.

This can be eaten with just cheese, just salami, or just egg. However, when it has all three, it’s called ‘Los Tres Golpes.

This is an example from the menu of a restaurant in Santiago called ‘Square One.

Español:

El mangĂș es un plato tĂ­pico de la RepĂșblica Dominicana, este cuenta con diferentes ingredientes como plĂĄtano, cebolla, salami, queso y huevo. Se suele como en el desayuno o en la cena.

ÂĄClaro! Si es un dominicano, fĂĄcilmente se lo puede comer a cualquier hora.

Este se puede comer solo con queso, solo con salami o solo con huevo. Sin embargo, cuando tiene los tres, se le llama â€œLos tres golpes”.

Este es un ejemplo del menĂș de un restaurante en Santiago llamado â€œSquare one”

😼 History of Mangu

The legend goes that the name “MangĂș” has its origins in the first American intervention in the Dominican Republic, which took place from 1916 to 1924. It is said that American soldiers tasted mashed plantains for the first time and used the expression “Man, that’s good,” from which the name “MangĂș” emerged

Really?

I don’t know, but even in an American series like ‘Billions,’ they explain it.

Español:

Cuenta la leyenda que el nombre de “MangĂș” tiene sus orĂ­genes en la primera intervenciĂłn americana en desde 1916 al 1924. Los soldados americanos probaron por primera vez el purĂ© de plĂĄtanos y utilizaron la expresiĂłn â€œMan, tha’s good”, de donde surgiĂł el nombre â€œMangĂș”.

ÂżPero es verdad?

No sĂ©, pero hasta en una serie estadounidense “Billions” lo explican.
