I just found out about World Arepa Day. For us Spanish speakers, it sounds funny. Another funny thing, we say "areperas" instead of "areperías". Arepería totally makes sense. In an arepera, they serve arepas with different fillings, and this is also the name of the woman--not a man--who makes arepas for a living.
You must make arepas, but make them small and thin or you'll put on weight before you know it! 🤣
Thanks for dropping by my friend 💚🙏
Haha I guess I read the sigh wrong. This restaurant is 3 minutes away and it's called ArePerA
We had our first arepas there and it was mushroom. They were really good. I have tried making them twice and they were not that great. I don't try to them again because the feeling of failure is not nice haha.
We can't afford to dine out much so I guess if I want to have arepas I have to be brave.
I checked out the link; I see they sell some of the most popular arepas, and they also serve empanadas. We have three favorite plant based fillings at home: coleslaw with avocado, steamed leek with fried plantain and margarine, and Escalivada. My favorite is Escalivada; it goes deliciously with arepas.
It's nice to know you have an arepera in town. Arepas are really inexpensive if we make them at home, so I guess you have to be brave 🙈
