>>22117300As a Brit, I would eat this but not enough bean sauce for the rice and I would like a bit more avocado. What are those two fried things, to the right of the overcooked egg?
>>22117324cornbread and plantains
>>22117329>cornbread and plantainsCornbread I get but surely it's only good for mopping up juices but like I said earlier, the rice needs that. Plantains . . . . .I thought they were a Caribbean thing? but I have never had them, maybe I should try some?
>>22117329>>22117336The bread thing is an arepa, maize flour like the type they use for tortillas, and filled with cheese. And a side of fried plantain is very common in Colombian dishes but it's not very good, gets fried until it's rock hard and barely has any flavor. Same thing with avocado, they call it palta, it's much bigger than regular avocados but much harder and with even less flavor.
>>22117357Nice to knowCheers.
>>22117300good lookin chich
>>22117300Looks absolutely delicious. I never would have thought to combine beans and rice with sausage and eggs, but just thinking about it is making me hungry. Do I have to go to Colombia to get one of these, or can they be found in other places?
>>22117300Arepas fucking suck. They're a crappy version of a pupusa/gordita
>>22117300Yep, its one of the best breakfasts you can have. I would have less rice though personally. The chicharron is always better if theres some good hunks of meat on it >>22117311Basically
>>22117585They're great fresh off a hot skillet, just absolutely trash once they cool off. Also need to have a proper amount of salt in the dough.
>>22117590>>22117585I'm with this guy. Fresh off the skillet from a street cart in a cold, misty Colombian morning? Perfect food. The sad, lukewarm lumps they serve at sit down restaurants that barely have any cheese inside get a test bite at best.
>>22117585Wrong
>>22117590>>22117599>>22117713Yeah all the ones I've had have been dry crumbly trash with a few micrograms of what can barely be distinguished as filling. All at different sit down restaurants
>>22117300Ok now wheres the NOT PRISONFOOD?!!
>>22117357>And a side of fried plantain is very common in Colombian dishes but it's not very good, gets fried until it's rock hard and barely has any flavor.That's only for green plantains which generally aren't great in my opinion no matter how they're prepared, like you said it's like a bland hard potato that's also kind of astringent. OP's pic looks like it has sweet plantains though which are good, just like a cooked sweet banana.
I recognize that bulge
