American Breakfast in Santiago?????
hey, HB, there are some pretty grotesquely obese people here, too. most women who have hit forty look like a Brugal barrel. i guess it is all that platano and yuca, washed down with gallons of beer.
i was just ribbing you. i bought out half the Knox gelatin in Playero, for exactly that purpose. heck, it is 38 pesos per box, as opposed to 140 in Jose Luis. need some? 100 pesos sounds about right....just kidding. if it is expensive where you are, i can hook you up with a stashYeah, well, quicky deserts...
There are no-bake semi-cheesecake kits on the store shelves. While not even close to the real thing, they are fairly tasty for what they are. Mix, pour in a premade crust mix, pour some cherry pie filling after being in the fridge for a while, then let "harden." makes a decent desert, but not like a real NY cheesecake. More like a cheesecake pie.
which stores? i have never seen one. my problem is also that i have never seen Cool Whip, and all good no-bakes need it.
real NY cheesecake? wanna trade some Jimmy Dean for the best NY cheesecake in the DR?
then you have not tried the stuff at playero in Sosua. to die for. there are two types..you need the slightly cheaper version.
really good stuff. 114 pesos per lb.
I'm from South Carolina so I can appreciate grits. Not surprisingly yellow grits can be found here in the DR in many supermarkets. Dominicans prepare it sweet while Haitians do it just like back home. Now I think I'll go out today and gets some to eat with my eggs and bacon tomorrow.
I agree with the do it yourself approach here. Quality ingredients readily available and you will spend less too.
Square One at the Shell gas station in front of the PUCCM has a "diner" feel to it and you can get just about any type of omellete/eggs etc.

I second Square 1 - perhaps the best breakfast option in Santiago, and its 24 hours too.
I Literally am going there right now, and I will check out that " Shell" station mentioned here by the university later this week, I pass it all the time. thank you
For bacon & eggs home cooked in Las Terrenas go first to Lindo and buy either smoked or salt cured bacon good stuff (tocineta), Integral bread (wholemeal) and imported french salt butter. Don't buy their eggs at RDS 90 for 12 tiny little things from poullets or bantams. Go to a Dominican colmado for good sized ones at RDS72 for 12. Sorry can't help with grits ,I don't even know what they are. Lindo's Lipton tea bags make a decent cuppa tea. As our cousins across the channel say - bon appetit.
what on earth is this grits thingy? sounds like something i put in a litter box so my cats can s**t in it. fresh step, it's called. large bag costs about 500 pesos.
i eat mangu, platanos, yuka, fried cheese and other dominican staples. but for me there is no better breakfast than large sandwich with white cheese, kielbasa, radish and freshly pickled cucumber. followed by hot tea with lemon and raspberry syrup.
