Like one of my other classmates, I tried arepas for the first time in the class when one of the teams bought samples to class. I had seen them before in street fairs and in jackson heights but I never really put much interest in them. The ones we tried in class were Venezuelan Arepas. I believe my classmate said they were called “Arepas de Choclo (Sweet Corn Arepas). Arepas look like a thick pancake filled with cheese. The arepa we tried was top off with sour cream and cheese. It tasted as a dessert to me since it had a sweet taste. I think it would taste better when it is freshly made, nice and hot.
