The world is shrinking. And our palates are growing. With our increased interest in cooking, numerous magazines, and entire TV food network . . . America, now more than ever, is discovering, learning and yearning for dishes with a Latin American flair. Today's baby boomers, 78 million strong, are the most culinary-literate and food ­active generation in history. And their children are even more adventurous and accepting of new ideas and flavors.

· Consumption of Latin American food is on the rise, currently growing at a 5% annual pace . . . twice the rate of general foodservice sales.

· According to the NRA, two categories that show great appeal for today's diners are "Festive Foods" (including Mexican and Caribbean fare) and "Innovative/Trendy Foods" (including Spanish & Latin cuisine).

· "Menu mentions" have climbed steadily for Mexican-influenced dishes. Caribbean food "menu mentions" have jumped dramatically.
