damn this looks good as hell man


my parents probably not gonna start making pasteles until Tuesday

whats that to the right? and what type of cuisine is this?
this dish looks bomb
i dont think i would enjoy my meal if i ate rice using a fork though

it's called pastel en hoja, it's from the Dominican Republic

it's similar to a tamale, but we use green banana and a few other root vegetables for the dough and we wrap it in a banana leaf

 

[chucktwnsfinest]

Sweet sour salty spicy and umami

Sweet potato x pecan is a very underrated combo. Souffle with the creme bru lee treatment

Oh, if it uses green vs sweet, then I would be for it

Anybody in my area have a suggestion on where to get Tamales? I've never tried them.

jarochita in manassas. It’s a hike but worth it. Similar to LA tamales. Don’t go to jarochita 2 in Arlington. Went there last year and they were trash. Now is the time. We order so much they always give me free shirts and a meal when we go lol. My dad usually takes 2 dozen home.

It’s pastel as Thierry Henry said. It’s also a holiday staple in Puerto Rican households.

Is that maple
Or table syrup???

I didn't ask. I'm sure it wasn't maple tho

I’m not much of a syrup person. I give a light light drizzle and am done with it

I am the same way, I barely put any syrup on my food. I just need slight moistures.

So you are not alone.

It was pretty good...but it was a Korean/Japanese curry spot...very spicy.

Curry Ya in E.Village is tops in my book.

Spicy chicken sandwiches taste better with pickles , but shake shack is okay .. hands are clean enough for me tho . Could be drier looking hands too but it’s soft enough nawghtyhare
