Food anyone?

They are a form of corn bread. Favourite in Colombia and Venezuela. Here is the recipe. http://www.whats4eats.com/breads/arepas-recipe/

I note they are supposedly gluten free

Thanks! They sound good, & easy to make, though the right sort of corn might be tricky to source round these staid parts of Olde Englande. We don't have exotic Brixton Market on the doorstep any more:-(

Have delved a bit but still in doubt about the type of cornmeal. For "pre-cooked", some say polenta is an OK equivalent in the UK, but others don't...That's fairly easy to get. Would you use it?

Hopefully, Hayles can help here. Her husband is a baker.

Bagel, cream cheese, great coffee.

Having breakfast at places near my primary home is always a compromise -- good food, so-so coffee; great coffee, OK food; or good food, good coffee and so-so atmosphere. I've yet to find anyplace with great food, coffee and atmosphere.

The great coffee swung things today. I had to get to the airport early, and my brain was imprinted with "coffee, coffee, coffee."

Breakfast? Coffee, coffee and more coffee.

That's later for me. Hmmm, an hour after dinner and maybe before midnight.

Lol. It makes me laugh when people say something like "I'm on my third cup." I'm usually on my first cup -- but my cup is a giant one, lol.

You should invite my sister then. I'll post her yellow blue mug later.

I'll put the coffee pot on.

Polenta would not be an option to make arepas.


The Columbian arepa is different in that it is like a griddle cake with usually some cheese in them. The Venezuelan is usually slightly larger puffed up and are able to be split and filled with a filling similar to a shredded or pulled pork and chicken. I'm very fortunate to work with some Columbian women who bring some to work for me and we have some food trucks that serve the Venezuelan style here in town. The Venezuelans also make one similar to the Columbian style with corn and cheese. The corn product used to make the arepa is fully cooked and very fine in texture. I'm fortunate to live in a city that has a large Hispanic population and can get most items right from the grocery stores. I'm also fortunate that all these Hispanic women have taught me how to make their specialities from their home countries.
As for me tonight I'm making red beans and rice a specialty from New Orleans made on Mondays all over the city. I'm also making scratch buttermilk biscuits to eat with dinner.

What we have is an imported White corn flour called P.AN. It's from Colombia. The information on the packet is very limited. Its pre-cooked white corn flour.

A Google search for where to buy throws up Tesco, Sainsbury or Morrisons as possibilities. It's also available on Afro Carribean stores or by St.

There is a programme on BBC2 right now which is part of a series of four episodes, called "Exploring China: A Culinary Adventure". It looks fabulous and really gets into the heart of the place, I'd recommend it to anyone who has access to the BBC iPlayer and is interested in Asian food and/or culture.

That is the product you want to use. I use the same brand. It also comes in yellow.
