Panamanian food has many different types of dishes according to
the region where they are elaborated; due to the wide variety of
ethnic groups that are found in the country. Panama offers world-class restaurants that can satisfy all kinds of exotic
tastes. But, what really makes a Panamanian proud is the great
variety of traditionals dishes we have to offer.

One of the most
famous typical Panamanian dishes is known as “Sancocho Panameño”
(panamanian sancocho). This dish is a delicious soup that
is generally made up of chicken, garlic, onions, yam, culantro,
oregano, pepper and salt. This soup is eaten with white rice and
hot sauce (but just for those who want to).
During this
year to celebrate the 100 years of Panama as an independent
republic, the SUCASA Group had the idea and the promotion of the
preparation of the event that they denominated the “ Centennial Sancocho".
This activity took place on august 16 of 2003 in the ATLAPA
Convention Center and all the funds collected were used to help
the Panama’s Children’s Hospital. For the soup to be cooked,
it was necessary to built a giant pot on stainless steel, special
burners and special mixing spoons. Also, another challenge for the
SUCASA Group was to find a way to make the gigantic pot to stand
on the burners.
