Time to eat pasteles, to eat pork, rice and pigeon peas, and to drink rum! Yeah, it doesn't really translate and sound as fun, but it's the holidays and if there's one thing you do right in PR, is celebrate the holidays with delicious food. And that phrase is from a popular song that's usually sung when you go do the Puerto Rican version of caroling, but we call them Parrandas, and they are LOUD, FUN, and involve mucho booze and yummy food.
Enough diddle daddling with me and moncheoPR. 2009 is here and I am back. Time to eat, drink, and write. So it's a new year of food, restaurants, cooking, recipes, and whatever else regarding food and drink I can find. Let's start with what the ending to a scrumptious meal at one of Puerto Rico's yummiest places – EVER – looked like:
I will give a $1.50 prize (Darn you Madoff for stealing my billions!!!) to whoever can guess where this debauchery of Mofongo took place. It was hot, yummy, crispy full of chicharrón, and has been creating the delectable Mofongo for more than 25 years. Sadly, we failed to finish every last morsel. And I am really regretting it as I look at this picture. These peeps rock our Mofongo-loving world and we love them. We won't say who they are just yet, but they will be written about in 2009. It's just that we like to keep them to ourselves. We're selfish that way. So see you in a bit. Keep coming back for more Puerto Rican food and drink fun.
