45 Things to Eat & Drink In DR
Speaking of chivo...on our way from SD to the north coast, we usually stop at Tipico Bonao to eat. One trip we saw this little place called [I think] "Plaza del Chivo" so we stopped. Went in, sat down, waitress came over and looked at us expectantly. Mr. AE asked for a menu. She answered "Tenemos chivo" [We have chivo]. He asked what else do they have. She said "Chivo". That's all they had. No choice for sides, etc.
You would think that the chivo was going to taste wonderful, since it's all they do. Not.

They are missing chicharron as someone said. How can that not be on the list? Anything people walk around with selling on the street should be on that list!
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but Presidente is cheap beer. I'll take a Bohemia over Presidente any day. It's smoother, more flavorful, cheaper, and stronger! Stella kicks both of their asses out of the water though.
edit: thanks to my wife I've had everything (food) on the list

Chivo is decent but the thing I hate about it is half of meat gets stuck between teeth. Fried fish is ok until you see where they wash and season it. As korean i can have Mondongo with decent amount of hot sauce and if it isn't too gamey. Maybe i need a better cook or restaurant sources but all other dishes are 'meh' to me.
Now that you are Moderating. Oh (Super Moderating). Does not give you the authority to go on your own rants.
Just because the Real DR1'ers have moved on; doesn't give you the right to close more than one subject. There are still many people that rely on this site.
For you, Alter Ego, to run it like some Veneszula or Cuba site won't last long.
I hope you love the power you feel. It will be short lived.
What in the world does that have to do with this topic and the quote?!?
ANYWAYS
Chivo is good, juicy, tender meat but too many damn little bones! It's like fish but worse!
Koreano I just can't understand your reactions to DR foods. I have described Korean food like this: they throw away all the good parts of the animal and then cook and eat what remains. However, I have also said that what is made from those remains tastes soooo good.
My Korean girlfriend made me raw beef liver. It was difficult for me to approach but I did andf it was OK. I always cite that as my most extreme experience.
I have found the DR dishes sometimes a bit heavy on bone and light on meat and many of the dishes posted don't have much flavor to me. I have had about 75% of the list.

i found that in wiki. i do not think people here even realize that and i have never heard of anyone getting sick from eating yuca.
I'm not sure, but I have heard that yuca is good for prostrate cancer - maybe that's why???
