According to Wikipedia Pupusas were first created centuries ago by Pipil tribes who inhabited El Salvador territory (Pupusa. N.d. In Wikipedia). In the article “historia de la pupusa salvadorena” Cooking implements for their preparation have been excavated in Joya De Ceren “El Salvador’s Pompeii “this is a native village that was buried by Asher from a volcano explosion. From Joya De Ceren Pipil expand the dish to every city in El Salvador. The pre-Columbian pupusa were vegetarian and half-moon shaped. They were filled with squash flowers and buds, herbs such chipilin and mora, fungi and salt” (Historia de la pupusa salvadorena. 2013. In Redislam net.)

N.d. In Wikipedia). As the population began migrating to other areas, pupusa stands proliferated across the country. “In 1980 El Salvador civil war forced many Salvadorians to migrate to others countries, mainly to United States of America”(Pupusa. N.d. In Wikipedia). Therefore pupusas became available outside the country. “Pupuserias” (name of the restaurant that make pupusas) can be found everywhere in United States

She used to make me pupusas with squash flowers and buds and till now this are my favorite’s
