Tables for Two
Don't leave Puerto Rico without a taste of the island's distinct
cuisine, a blend of Spanish, African, and Taino Indian elements
in dishes that will have you ordering more. Start with an appe-
tizer of
tostones
, fried plantains,
or
empanadillas
,
little
meat turnovers. Other Puerto Rico dishes include
asopao
,
a
rice stew made with chicken or other meat, and
mofongo
,
mashed
plantains mixed with fried pork rinds and seasoned
with garlic. Save room for
flan
,
a wonderful custard or, our fa-
vorite,
tembleque
,
a custard made with coconut milk and
sprinkled with cinnamon.
You won't go thirsty during a Puerto Rico stay; the island offers
some of the Caribbean's best rums, Medalla beer, and stout
Puerto Rican coffee.
