Ticos
Meet the Ticos, or Costa Ricans. The word derives from hermanticos, meaning "little brothers". If speaking exclusively of girls or women, the feminine is used… Ticas. Ticos are generally family-oriented, peaceful and fun loving. Indeed, most Ticos do not like conflict and are slow to argument. Many love to dance and communities are often immersed in celebration.
FOOD!
Ceviche remains one of the country's most popular dishes. It's made with fresh sea bass marinated in lime juice, red bell peppers and onions, served with chips and found in virtually every restaurant, bar and even roadside street vendors.
Costa Rican cuisine relies more on pork than beef incorporating cuts like pork chops, pork rinds, pig skin and even pig's feet in its recipes.
Coffee is another major Costa Rican export. Grown mostly in the temperate hillsides and valleys of the Central Valley for the last two hundred years, coffee is more than a staple crop, it's a part of Costa Rica's history. Most of the coffee produced in the county is made with Arabica beans and many of the country's farms roast their own beans and make their own brands of coffee. It's safe to say that Costa Rica is a country that runs off coffee!
