About Venezuelan Cuisine
Venezuelan cuisine centers on the arepa — a round, flat bread made from white corn flour that's griddled, baked, or fried and stuffed with an endless variety of fillings. Each region of Venezuela has its own arepa traditions. Cachapas (sweet corn pancakes with cheese), tequeños (cheese-filled bread sticks), and pabellón criollo (the national dish of shredded beef, black beans, rice, and plantains) are Venezuelan staples. The country's cuisine reflects Spanish, indigenous, and African influences.
