Empanaditas de Yuca or Cativías

Save

It was love at first sight with Mr. Queso de Hoja, the cheese peddler, whose, oh, balls, were the freshest ...

Oh, how I miss the town crier. All of them, but in particular, partly because of their abundance, to food vendors. The seller of hair items is fantastic, the seller of children's clothes was an ally in a certain way, but although you owe money you can not be sure when you will see them again. However, I could adjust my clock at five o'clock with the visit of the vendor of cassava pies (cativias).

Without fail the cake maker appeared with his hot and tasty fritters, sounding the lid of his big pot where he also brought the cachú (ketchup). Mr. Lambicero, also made his entrance with his huge container full of lambí salad served in a plastic cup accompanied by a slice of lemon. There are too many criers to mention them all, the pork rind seller, the boiled egg boy, the old man who sells boiled corn, the seller of chulitos. One for each taste

Let's not forget those that shape the family menu. What you are going to eat depends on who passes today. "Watercress! Watercress! "Salad sounds good ..." Guanduleeees! "Mmmmm, stewed guandules sounds like a good idea. And who can resist the fish seller, proudly showing his catch of the day. Much simpler than buying at the supermarket, in addition to cheaper.

Now, if the town criers would agree and adhere to some standard regarding the volume of their speakers, then this would be a perfect world.
