By the looks of it: Arroz blanco con habicuelas blancas y chuletas (Rice with white beans and chop). We eat it almost all the time here in Santo Domingo, the combination of rice, red beans and chicken is usually called "the flag".

Yeah, we don't do the white beans, or at least I don't. Feijao Carioca for me

But the meal is familiar. Meat, beans and rice. Typical Brazilian meal. So since there are similarities with all these meals what is the common thread? If it Africa? Is it slavery? Is it European? Indigenous?
