Hello my friends steemitans, today I come with a touch of culture about the queen of Venezuela
The arepa is one of the most emblematic and representative dishes of Venezuelan gastronomy. It is consumed throughout the country, made with ground corn masa or precooked corn flour, better known as Flour Bread, flattened with two circular faces.
To talk about arepas is to talk about Venezuela.
It is usually eaten almost every day at breakfast or at dinner, either as a main dish or as a companion. It is primarily marketed in areperas, restaurants specialized in arepas, very popular throughout the country and already with the number of Venezuelans who have Emigrated, can be seen in other latitudes.
In the year 2015 the American tourism and gastronomy portal Thrillist.com published a count with the 18 best breakfasts from around the world. The Venezuelan arepa achieved the position of honor, surpassing the classic American breakfast, French toast, Mexican chilaquiles and other exotic and curious dishes from countries like Pakistan, Israel, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia, among others.
