The Great Debate

[JD Jones]

If you’re so inclined…… there are a couple of ladies who make the yuca dough discs fresh daily, and sell them mornings on the corners outside the Mercado in San Cristobal.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's where my Pedidosya places get their discs.

The ones I get are a lighter color, not the half-dark orange ones you see on most carts.

There used to be a young guy selling yuca empanadas in front of JUMBO Luperon, and I NEVER saw him with a line of
less than 10 persons. And, they were cheap.

Of course, the govt. shut him down.

Take a knife and cut it in half in the middle and then move out from there. Once you get to the end bits with no filling you stop eating.

Con picante o sin picante?

Lol

Sin

Absolutely, NanSP.

However, SOMEONE will undoubtably write that they detest empanadas and/or empanadillas.
But I'll have it every day of the week and twice on Saturdays.

Who might do that?

My only complaint is that so many of them sold are actually "EmptyNadas".

I had great emanados on Margarita Island. Never had one in the DR come close to those.

When I was in Puerto Rico they had two types of empanadas; one was filled, and the other was a half circle with a heaping tablespoon of filler in the center and the rest was flat. They came out of the fryer a little on the wet side.
The DR ones are almost always the ones that look baked and have what appears to be a light coating of flour, and are quite dry.
I don't see the filled ones very often here.
