While in New York, Nell and the gang took Kir and I down to Red Hook. No, we weren’t going to Ikea (we have two of those in Philly, thank you very much). There are ballfields there where several Latin and South American communities have recreational soccer and baseball leagues that they take very seriously. They also take their food very seriously, so several top notch vendors set up shop on Sundays. Needless to say, they have developed *quite* a following among foodies and amateur athletes alike.
Choices abound: Colombian, Venezuelan, Dominican, Mexican, Chilean… you get the picture. In case you don’t get the picture, here are several. (Note: this is my first time using the “gallery” feature on wordpress, so if it turns out to be a failure I’ll repost the old fashioned way.)
- Kir and Maddie navigate the crowds and vendors.
- Menu on Colombian truck
- Word of mouth about their ceviches didn’t lie.
- Some assistance in making selections.
- Bandeja Tipica: Pork, Chicharrone, Chorizo, Corn cake, fried egg, rice, and beans.
- Arepa: something like pan-friend cornbread stuffed with cheese.
- Shrimp ceviche
- Plantains with sour cream
- Pupusa: a white corn variation of the arepa with pickled veggies, hot sauce, and sour cream
- One chicharrone taco and one carnitas taco with salsa verde
