Rice and beans, "arroz y habas" or "arroz con habichuelas" "arroz con frijoles" or similar in Spanish, "arroz e feijão" or "feijão com arroz", in Brazilian Portuguese, "du riz a pois/haricots" in French, and "diri ak pwa" in Haitian Creole, is a very popular dish throughout Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in communities of Latino people elsewhere. The dish in New Orleans is called beans 'n' rice if talking about rice and beans, but to be more specific, red beans and rice would be used to describe the popular local dish. The caribbean influence on New Orleans culture reflects from the "beans 'n' rice as well as many spices.
