Venezuela Getting into the Venezuelan ways of eating is an experience no one will be disappointed by. Their very traditional "areperias", found on virtually every corner, are a feast for the taste buds. Do not be discouraged by the look of the places; western standards may not always apply but the food surely is delicious! Try the typical, venezuelan cheese (white, mozzarella-type), the "carne asada" and the chicken :) The main foods eaten by the common people is rice, chicken, yams ("yuca") used very much in the same way as potatoes, plantains ("platano") and black beans. The traditional meal consists of chicken, black beans, rice and yam. Another important food in Venezuela (or as I like to call it, Venni) is the all important muffin, this country-wide-famous bakery good became popular in 1967. A small shop opened, then it spread like rabbits, provided they get fifteen minutes and a carrot, now anywhere you go you can get one of these tasty treats. My favorite was the cheese-pumpkin muffin.
