The respect for other cuisines and cultures is unparalleled. A true global ambassador!
Let me put it in words that you can understand since Miami have their own language: "esa no es la bandera aseres!! no sea come pinga!! 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
You had to use the wrong flag, didn’t you! 😂
Ah…Wrong flag on thumbnail 🇵🇷
Hi David…some of the best foods I've seen in a while…would love to try…mofongo…chresr..and yes African influence here again..nice as alwayd…Thanks as always and have a safe blessed day. Peace.
I just keep noticing that you really love eating spicy 🌶️ food—like it’s your ultimate comfort zone. It’s as if no meal is complete for you without that fiery kick, and you’re always ready to turn up the heat, no matter how much it makes your taste buds sweat😂
Born + raised in PR still here never left. Have had mofongo with the chicharron mixed in it many times. Whats kind of strange to me was that plain looking yellow rice and frijoles negros….never been served black beans here at a restaurant or anyones home and when i do have yellow looking rice its either arroz con gandulez, arroz con salchicha etc cosas asi🤷🏼♂️
Puerto cuisine looks delicious. I especially love that grilled chicken!
I love how you add the black beans to the rice; it makes the dish even more delicious!
Using bananas in a dish is so unique. I look forward to trying authentic Puerto cuisine someday.
Thank you to the chefs who strive to preserve traditional food culture, and to you, the wonderful person! 👍🥰🙏
Wrong flag on thumb nail David. 😅
