Typical Puerto Rican dish

During the holidays it is guaranteed to have Arroz con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas) accompanied with other traditional dishes. While having so much rice is not the healthiest diet, I love when my mom cooks up a pot of rice and peas. Let’s not also forget the slab of pork chop that’s perfectly seasoned and fried with a small green salad to complete the whole dish. The juice that drips as you bite into the pork chop is mouth watering as I type this description.

    I love food from Puerto Rico. When I was there with my family that was all we ate, and now it reminds me of the good times with my family.

    I have a lot of friends from PR and I love the food. Like you mentioned, I try not to eat too much rice at home, but it is THE most comforting accompaniment to any home cooked dish.

    I love PR food. When I lived in Bushwick that was all I ate. I can’t wait to go to Puerto Rico. I was supposed to go the weekend of Sandy, my friend did and got stuck there for a week. Hmm, I should have went, I would have been stuck there too.

    I’ve started to get into Latin American food more and more in recent years, especially this dish called the Arepa. The dish you put up sounds good in terms of the ingredients you listed off, but I wish you could put a little more emphasis on what makes it so good, maybe describe the taste or textures a bit more. For me, when it comes to dishes like this it’s all about the bold and savory flavors they put into it.

    I’ve tried, once and I could not forget the tastes of Puerto Riccan dish. It was strong and different. I wish I could find the great place where I can start this type of food.

    This sounds delicious. I’ve never had Puerto Rican food but it looks and sounds pretty similar to Haitian food. Since I can’t find a decent Haitian restaurant, food from PR might do the trick.
