/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "REH" (as in "red") + "pah" (as in "park")/
Round flatbread made from cornmeal, the absolute staple food of Venezuela and Colombia. In Venezuela the arepa appears at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, stuffed with anything imaginable: cheese, meat, avocado, black beans. It is not just food; it is daily ritual and national pride.
“Sin arepa el venezolano no tiene el día completo. (Without an arepa, a Venezuelan's day isn't complete.)”
“Dame una arepa con queso y un café negro, lo de siempre. (Give me an arepa with cheese and a black coffee, the usual.)”
