From Venezuela, since its Xmas , all true venezuelans are eating Hallacas , yum yum!

Video explains how are they made , and no, they are not mexican tamales, but for ease of reference to foreigners, they can picture it better as a tamale, but they not only taste very different, but the filling is sometimes, depending on region quite exotic compared to a tamale.

The habit of eating corn flour based boiled cakes warapped in plantain tree leaves is quite widespread in latinamerica, due to our indigenous cultural heritage, but all countries have their particular fillings, which end up giving pretty local flavors that can sometimes amaze the senses.

Next to it, we have a traditional Ham Bread that goes alongside the hallaca

And as a final note, these two items go hand to hand with a simple Hen Salad, ( not chicken, since commercial chicken is usually barely 2 months old, whereas a full grown hen is much older and meat tastes differently giving the traditional hen salad a very particular taste)


Man I miss my country sometimes, specially for the Xmas food, Panama is known to have pretty much standard "americanized" food like turkey and some pretty simple mexican like tamales for xmas, but I really crave the taste of Cumin and Onoto (a local venezuelan spice that tints yellow) that give folkloric dishes its particular taste.

Merry Xmas! o/

'Because the suction cups on the arm pieces are still active when the dish is served, special care should be taken when eating sannakji. The active suction cups can cause swallowed pieces of arm to stick to the mouth or throat. This can also present a choking hazard for some people, particularly if they are intoxicated.'

Kids, never drink and drive. And never, ever drink and sannakji.
