Food Firsts – Arepas

I was able to try this type of food for the first time after visiting Jackson Heights. It is made up of ground maize dough or cooked flour prominent into cuisine of Colombia and Venezuela. It is eaten daily and is served with various condiments such as avocado, and cheese. They are usually split and make them into sandwiches. The one I had, I didn’t expect to like it. They were sweet but also salty. And this wasn’t a taste I’ve ever tasted before. It reminded me of a Salvadorian dish names pupusas. It kind of has the same consistently because they are both a form of tortillas.
