Yucatecan Cuisine

Yucatan is famous for its culinary delights combining a mouthwatering mixture of European and Mayan flavors.  The Yucatan peninsula is the land of the Maya, and was once very isolated from the rest of Mexico because of its surrounding mountainous terrain and very poor roads.  The easiest way to reach the peninsula was through its many ports, encouraging cultural contacts with European traders.  Hence the European influence in the dishes found in Yucatan.
