Arepa

A traditional Dominican cornmeal cake. It differs from standard cake because it is made without eggs and is traditionally baked in a pot using charcoal heat applied to both the top and the bottom. It is often served with hot chocolate, ginger tea, or milk. A savory version (Arepa Salada) is also popular and frequently eaten with avocado.

Dalila's arepa is the tastiest in the country. In one area of Jarabacoa, the whole town makes a living selling that delicious treat. - 10 pesos worth of arepa; give me a piece from the corner.
