Mr.Jhorjan Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Link:https://www.101viajes.com/venezuela/comidas-tipicas-venezuela The typical foods of Venezuela are the Asado Negro, the Pabellón Criollo, the Hallaca, the Cachapa, the Arepa, the Cazabe, the Corn Flour Empanadas, the Boiled Chicken, Meat or Fish. The Pabellón Criollo, full of flavors, is probably the typical food of Venezuela par excellence. Its ingredients are white rice, shredded meat, fried plantain slices and refried black beans. Like all other dishes, it has its variants depending on the region. The origin of the Arepa is ancestral. The indigenous people were already making arepas from a mass of cooked and ground corn. Currently they are made with white cornmeal, salt, water and oil. Some buns are prepared with the dough and then given the final shape. There are chicharrón arepas, sweet arepitas, “peeled” arepas with ashes, and roasted arepas. The Hallaca is the clear demonstration of Venezuelan miscegenation, since its ingredients have different origins: the banana leaf, used by the American Indians and the African black; corn dough, traditional from Venezuela; meat, olives, capers and raisins, with a clear Spanish influence. The hallaca is traditionally served for Christmas. Sancocho is a thick soup made from cassava, potato, plantain and various legumes to which chicken or beef is usually added. Other typical foods from Venezuela are: El Asado Negro, El Pasticho, El Cazabe, La Cahapata to name a few. In addition to the typical foods of Venezuela, almost all the desserts, sweets and candies have indigenous origin. Ingredients such as banana, pineapple, guava, orange, coconut, plums, chocolate, almonds abound. They are mixed with cinnamon, honey, orange water, syrup, cloves, rum or the typical papelón (sugar cane molasses) to result in delicious and unforgettable flavors. Among the desserts of aboriginal origin is the Majarete, a delicacy made from coconut milk, flour, cinnamon sticks, paper and sugar. The Bejarana Cake comes from colonial times, made from bananas, mixed with butter, cinnamon powder, papelón, white cheese, cloves and syrup. One of the typical candies are the Negritos, whose base is semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces, and mixed with flour, butter, nuts, and eggs. Among the traditional drinks is chicha, made from corn. The Chicha Andina was the ritual drink of the natives in pre-Columbian times. Nowadays it is the typical drink of the State of Táchira. La Tizana, typically Venezuelan, is a non-alcoholic refreshing drink. It is based on various fruits: pineapple, mango, strawberries, grapes, oranges, apples, papaya, banana (small banana), bathed with low concentration lemonade, grenadine and ice. This has been a very brief panorama of the typical drinks and foods of Venezuela. We hope you can enjoy it when you visit the country.
