However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (嚙齒動物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in

36、corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves.

43、self to be a middle-class nation. However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges(特權(quán)).
