Biscuits and Gravy or Steak and eggs makes a fine breakfast.

A grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of chicken noodle soup is a superb lunch.

Dinner deserves something special so consider Chesapeake Oysters, a fresh California spinach salad, Idaho Potato, glazed baby carrots, Prime Rib of Omaha Beef and Boston Cream Pie.

It may be Puerto Rico, but it is still the United States so eat what you want to. You could even go to McDonalds three times a day if that makes you happy.

What led to the discontent among puerto ricans even after the passage of the foraker act of the Jones of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Foraker Act granted only partial, rather than full citizenship to Puerto Ricans. It left the legal status of the island nebulous. The Jones Shafroth Act increased their representation and allowed for a popularly elected senate, all laws still needed to pass through Congress. Many Puerto Ricans were aggrieved at both bills, because they continued to only provide them partial rights.

What does the Puerto Rico coat of arms mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From: http://welcome.topuertorico.org/reference/escudo.shtml

The figures we see on the Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are inspired on those that appear on the Coat of Arms which the Spanish Crown granted to the Island of Puerto Rico at the beginning of the XVI Century. It was first recognized by King Ferdinand by virtue of Royal Decree on November 8, 1511, but it wasn't until March 9, 1905 that a law, establishing the official Coat of Arms was signed. It is the only one in Latin America still in official use since the conquest.

The predominant color on the background is the green, it is known that this color was used at the beginnings of the Christian era in allusion to Saint John the Baptist, as a symbol of the grass or vegetation when he would preach in the deserted jungle of Judea. Within the background there is a white lamb on top of the Book of Revelations, holding the seven seals of The Apocalypse of Saint John the Apostle. The lamb represents purity which corresponds to the figure of the Lamb of God, the Agnus dei, identified as Jesus Christ. The lamb holds a white flag with a red cross, the "Cross of Jerusalem" used by the monarchs to expel the "non-Christians" from the Spanish peninsula.

The rim is covered by 16 symbols: 4 castles signifying the "Kingdom of Castilla", 4 lions, representing the "Kingdom of Leon", both, lions and castles, represents the unity of both kingdoms, 4 flags, and 4 crosses of Jerusalem are symbols of Saint John the Baptist.

The crown on top symbolizes the "Royalty" who authorized this shield. To the right, an "F" for Fernando, to the left, a "Y" for Ysabel, who were over the crown (King and Queen of the Spanish Empire) when Puerto Rico was discovered, evoke the great pioneering efforts. The quiver of arrows and yoke represent ideograms for the initials of the Catholic Kings, F and Y.

The inscription reads "JOHANNES EST NOMEN EJUS" or "Juan (John) is its name", as Puerto Rico was originally called San Juan (Saint John), which today is the name of the capital city.

The use of the Coat of Arms of Puerto Rico is governed by certain Regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State of Puerto Rico on May 2, 1960, according to Act No. 7 of August 8, 1952, of the Legislature, amended by Law 143 of June 3, 1976.

How many miles to drive around puerto rico?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About 300 miles to drive completely around the island staying as close to the beach as possible all the way around.

A complete driving tour taking in all the major sites of the island including the interior can be done in a fast-paced two day trip or a more leisurely three day trip and about 350 miles. Add whatever amount of time you want to spend on the beach or at any attraction to this. You can spend weeks just traveling the byways and highways of PR and stopping off at every interesting spot.

Why did the US want to occupy puerto rico?

The US gained the philioppines Guam and Puerto Rico and what other country?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Those possessions were granted to the United States in the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish American War, begun in 1898. This was the conflict given impetus by the so-called "yellow journalism" of W. R. Hearst's newspapers, which gave rise to the call to "Remember the Maine" after the mysterious explosion of the U.S. ship Maine in Havana harbor. It was also the short-lived war in which Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders made a reputation for their charge on San Juan Hill. Following the treaty, the U.S. took control of Cuba and ended the insurrection there, then granted independence in 1902.

Why do people hate Puerto Rico?

Asked by Wiki User

True. I was born and raised in the U.S. my parents were both born in Puerto Rico. The newer generation are the scum that hate us Puerto Ricans from the U.S. As one kid told me, the reason was, because we think we're better than them. I've been treated badly by the people here and harrassed. Especially when moving to this house. Yes, "gangstalking" is also done in Puerto Rico. Brightening, noise campaigns, slander, etc. I hate them with a passion. I will never come back here when I leave.
