   "Vigoron" is a national dish of Nicaragua.  I didn't see it at all in Panama.

MIAMI - As sunlight faded to darkness, hundreds of Nicaraguan exiles gathered at Our Lady of Divine Providence church to catch up on local news and listen to an inspirational leader, Monsignor Pablo Antonio Vega.

Young men dressed in guayabera shirts, old women in patterned Nicaraguan dresses and young children in Miami Dolphins football jerseys mingled outside the modern church, bantering in Spanish and eating cacao and vigoron, two favorite Nicaraguan dishes.

A favorite street dish is vigoron, an interesting meat and vegetable concoction served on a banana leaf which is held in the palm as a plate. The first layer is a salad made with yucca, cabbage, onion and vinegar, usually with cooked meat mixed in. On top of it all is chicharron, or fried pork skins. Locals spoon the stuff into their mouths with their fingers.
