Nice. I'm glad you posted that. I thought arepas were palmed circles
of raw dough with a filling placed in the center and then covered with
more raw dough and rolled out -- so the filling and dough become one.
And then baked or fried. If you can follow my sentence? So I'm glad
I read through your link. Your photos show a different food item than
I had in mind. Good looking.
