Where My Food is Made

I never knew where exactly plantains or rice is made from... Today I guess we will both find out.
First the rice that I eat is made by a company named Carolina. It comes wrapped in plastic . The rice is naturally grown in the USA.

The best part being the steak comes from cows that are brought up in farms upstate and sent to slaughter houses in new jersey. There is no main company that distributes these steaks.

Recipe

Recipe for Arroz con Menestra y Carne Asada with a side of Platano Maduro y Queso.
2 cups of rice
1 lb of beans
2 cups of water
2 ramas of spicy white onions
1 spicy pepper 1
1 small spicy tomato with garlic,
salt,
Ripe Plantains
Frying Cheese

Ripe plantains at the supermarket cost about 4.95 for a pack of 5 microwaveable plantains. Which is a dollar a plantain. The rice comes in a bag that measures 10 lbs at 9$ per bag. I love rice so I usually take ALOT of rice and boil it up. The portion of rice I use would cost about 65 cents. A can of red goya beans would cost about 3 dollars a can at trade fair. I love my beans so i use half a cand of beans which is about 1.50$. A spicy pepper gives the meat a kick so that would normally cost 25Cents a pepper or 5 for a dollar. I only eat one pepper so 25 cents for the pepper. Spicy white onions are 4 for a dollar at key food. Tomatos are about 3 for a dollar. 1 Tomato is like 33 cents. and The frying cheese is two dollars a a slice would be 15 cents. The sirloin steak costs about 5$ for the whole steak.
