Ok you ask a lot of things. Ill try to answer as much as I can:
Latin America is not one country, but a lot of them, including the caribbean, a lot of different cultures and so a lot of different food. a lot of climatic conditions, so a lot of different products to export.
for example, argentina, uruguay, they eat a lot of meat, grilled and they produce a lot of leather and they produce Dulce de leche, belive me, really good.
Im from dominican republic, we produce sugar, tobbaco, and a lot of other things, like now, we are starting to produce and export organic vegetables.
tipical food here: Sancocho, is like soop, with meat in it and some vegetables, and potatoes, and other things.
Mangu: Mashed bananas
among other foods.
we celebrate a festival in february, our carnaval at La Vega, one of our cities.
