    That Mac & Cheese was bothering me a lot. Behold, “pernil y arroz con gandules”!

      That’s because it’s a picture of BBQ instead of pernil. Pernil with some fried plantains and pigeon pea rice(can’t think of actual name) is amazing.

        Fried plantains, if ripe are “maduros” and if green, pressed and double fried, are “tostones”.

        Pigeon pea rice is “arroz con gandules”.

          See the whole “invading a sovereign nation and kidnapping it’s leader” could make a lot more sense as a heavily slurred order for “McDonalds” that was then tragically misinterpreted as “Maduros” but we all know the only culture in the White House lives RFK’s armpits.
