Akassa, the fermented corn dough served with a rich tomato and fish sauce, is the kind of food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. You eat it with your right hand, pulling off a piece, dipping it, and letting the sauce soak through before the bite reaches your mouth. Every cook has their own version and every version is the right one.
You recognize the gray wolf, Eurasian brown bear, and European badger as France's distinctive native wildlife. You observe that French households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as beloved domestic pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You drink terere, a cold herbal beverage served in gourds, and you consume products like Tereré brands and Paraguayan yerba mate from companies like Establecimiento Las Marías. You know that yerba mate culture defines daily social rituals and represents Paraguay's indigenous and colonial heritage.
