1 GEOGRAPHIC SETTING AND ENVIRONMENT
Although Latino Americans, also known as Hispanic Americans, live  throughout the United States, the states with the largest populations are  California, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, and New York. Latinos may be of  any race, and may trace their family history to any of the countries where  Spanish is the principal language (except Spain), particularly those in  Latin America. The masculine form of the word is Latino, and the feminine  form is Latina. 2 HISTORY AND FOOD
Mexican Americans have lived in the United States for most of the  country's history. However, other Spanish-speaking immigrants did  not begin arriving in large numbers until after World War II  (1939–1945). Many Puerto Ricans arrived in the 1950s. Cubans,  Dominicans, Colombians, and Costa Ricans immigrated in the 1960s. And,  people from still other Latin American countries followed in succeeding  years. As of 2001, the three largest Latino ethnic groups were Mexican  American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban American. Like most immigrant groups, Latino Americans have remained loyal to the  food traditions of their homelands.
