Dear blog family,
Sorry Ive been away for so long. Just had a few non-blogging things to do. Feast your eyes today on traditional Trini Christmas fare. We call them pastelles, they’re called arepas in Venezuela I believe. They are very similar to Latin American tamales, except the meat isn’t ground into the cornmeal, it is wrapped in a shell made of finely ground cornmeal, then wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed. Both taste yummy, and no Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago would be complete without these.
Oh, and of course you can always wash them down with a glass of sorrel.
Enjoy!
