I choose a dish, it’s called Arroz Con Gandules. The dish Arroz Con Gandules is made with rice, sofrito, goya, pigeon beans, etc. The dish is used to eat. This dish is originally from Puerto Rico. My mom always makes this, she learned how to make it from her mom. My mom makes  Arroz Con Gandules for mostly all holidays. She makes it for birthdays, thanksgiving, Christmas etc. This dish is important because it’s been passed down. This dish is connected to my culture because it’s originally from Puerto Rico and I’m Puerto Rican.
