Are you wondering what to eat? Well, I recommend eating “Salchipapas”. If you are looking to eat an exquisite fast food, salchipapas is the perfect dish that you will ever find. Salchipapas includes french fries and beef sausages. It is typically served with ketchup and mustard. When I was about 10 years old I first encountered the appetizing salchipapas at an Ecuadorian Restaurant. Salchipapas is one of the common food served in my Ecuadorian culture. This fast food is not only consumed in my culture but on many others such as in Peru and Colombia. Though, throughout time the salchipapas dish has expanded to other cultures.
As a Latina women I love eating fried foods. Salchipapas is one of my favorite dishes that I enjoy eating. It is easy and favorable to eat. I feel that when I see the salchipapas there will be no one who will stop me from eating it. The desire to eat it is uncontrollable. Just by looking at it, I imagine my hands eagerly grabbing the french fries to add it with ketchup. The beef sausages are cut into small portions. However, why choose to eat “salchipapas”? This type fast food dish will make you feel happy or relaxed especially on a stressed or tired day. Not only will it lift your spirits but this street food will be inevitable to forget because it owns a tasty flavor.
I like to eat it but I also find pleasure on preparing it. Cooking the salchipapas does not require too much time. While I’m preparing the salchipapas, what I don’t like is that it makes me feel a bit hot while am near the kitchen because the flame of the stove is firing up to the pots. This type of food requires oil then it is obvious that it will make the kitchen feel warmer. I sense that the fire and I don’t get along. Now I wonder how does this type of food relate to me? I would say that I like things that are fast and favorable. The salchipapas fast food would be an awesome plate to taste when I’m in a hurry because I would eat it quickly, easily and with a good taste.
Since I just mentioned about the salchipapas, my daily life is not mine if I don’t try something fried. Fried is what I like, it draws my attention on trying it. I avoid eating fried food since I remember what my family tells me, “it is bad for the health to eat a lot of fried food”. If for several days I do not eat something fried, my body feels somewhat uneasy. I remember there was this time where I did not eat fried food and all of a sudden I felt anxious and my mind began to imagine any fried food floating around my head. For this reason, salchipapas is one of my favorite food to eat. So, why not discover the taste of the yummy fast food “Salchipapas”?
Hey Danna, I agree entirely with you. I had tried Salchipapas before when I visited one of my Colombian friends named Azul. When I watched her mother make them, my stomach started grumbling because of how good they smell. Although fried food is something, I tried to avoid for the good of my health. Salchipapas is definitely worth trying. They are the best combination for savory food. I also loved reading your description of the food and how you explained your relationship with oily food. Even if it isn’t all that good for you, it is a cultural dish that you enjoy eating. You feel empty if you don’t eat it or something similar to the dish. Thank you for sharing your recommendation.
I enjoyed reading your writing. I like how you describe what this food is, the feeling it gives you, and the connection you have created with it. Coming from Ecuador as well, I really found a love for fried foods as well. I really like eating salchipapas, even though just like your family tells you “oily things are bad” so does mine but I still eat it. I think the craving for it is much stronger than anything else.
Hey Danna,
I loved how you introduced salchipapas. I agree that it is easy to eat yet great in flavor. I also loved how you explained your connection to salchipapas and why you love it so much. I can definitely relate to being told how fried foods are bad for your health. While I agree with the statement, it does not mean you have to completely stop eating them. Salchipapas deserve to be enjoyed.
