Eat Empanadas - They're Yummy!!
Venezuelan empanadas are deep-fried, stuffed, corn flour patties. You should try them. These crescent-shaped fried pies are still made with cornmeal, but are much more chunky than arepas. I had some delicious fish (often filled with baby shark) & cheese empanadas, (there are also meat ones available for those that do meat). At one point, Brother No 2 had the enlightening job of making the empanandas for the kids break at school. It was quite a common site to see my him frantically making 500 at 5 am in the morning after a night out awith his friends and no sleep (he he ). I got to eat any that didn't turn out just right : )A bit like a Cornish Pasty I suppose, but much more tasty, especially the fish one.
