/pa-be-YON/
Venezuela's national dish: rice, black beans (caraotas), shredded beef, and sweet plantain slices. Pabellón isn't just food — it's identity on a plate. Every Venezuelan abroad feels its absence, and every homecoming starts with ordering one.
Example
"When I miss Venezuela I eat a pabellón and it passes."
"There's no proper Sunday rest without a good pabellón criollo."
