Your birth country is amazing and better than anything in the state of Florida. Except the food. I haven't been in 20 years but is it still gallo pinto con lizano todos las dias?

Yes, gallo pinto is the national dish (it's vegetarian/vegan!). We have a lot of fresh produce too, given it's a tropical country. The Costa Rican version uses black beans.

Yeah gallo pinto is very good and healthy. The people of the country are extremely healthy.

What I was curious about was if the flavors of the cooking in the country have changed much over the past 20 years. I had to go to tourist restaurants sometimes for a change in spice and flavor.

Ah that I can't answer unfortunately, I haven't been back in quite a while
