I'm looking forward to eating ...

Bandera Dominicana, casabe, mangú, mofongo, mondongo, mambá, etc,  etc, which I learnt about in this fascinating site:

  1. Hahahaha Peng, that sounds great. For the ones of you who do not know what "Bandera Dominicana" (Dominican Flag) means, the phrase refers to our main plate, the one eaten daily, it is white rice, red beans and meat (either beef or chicken), accompanied usually with fried yellow plantains or green ones (green ones are called "tostones")

    make sure to leave some space for a "Presidente" (our national beer).

  2. I absolutely love mangú! (And the Presidente as well...) Thanks Arty, had never heard the phrase before. Casabe I guess is the same as in Puerto Rico, probably tried once as a kid. Still don't know what is mambá.

  3. yes, I think Casabe is the same.

    Mambá is a homemade version of peanut butter and I don't think you can find it on supermarkets, is more like a homemade thing... I have to say I had never try it since I am note a peanut butter fan.

    for sweets I prefer "dulce de leche con coco" o "guava", yummy!!!! :-)
