Venezuelan Food
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Are you sick of the usual fast food chains? Then come and try the delicious Venezuelan fast food!
Arepas (round, flat buns made of corn dough) are available in different types: filled with chicken, different sorts of cheese, egg, etc. You will find them all over the island in so called “Areperas”.
Empanadas (stuffed, deep-fried dough) are usually filled with cheese, chicken, shark meat, beans, etc. They are a common snack especially at the beach. You will sure find restaurants at the beach as well but you should definitely look for one of the Empanada stands to try one of them.
The Spanish School CELA offers cooking courses on a regular basis where you can learn how to prepare Venezuelan specialties.
Perro caliente (hot dog): You will find a hot dog stand at every corner as it is a common snack for the local people.
Hamburguesas (hamburger) probably belong to the best and most delicious type of fast food in Venezuela. They cannot be compared to the hamburgers made by the well-known fast food chains. In Venezuela you can buy hamburgers at every street corner and you can order them with whatever you like such as fried egg, sausage, bacon, meat, onions and a big selection of sauces.
