I thought the whole thing was going to liquify into a red, greasy, slime. For the most part, it did. Anyway, I added some eggs and ate it. It was good but I'm going to need a better product if I get it again. I'll look for a different brand.

That orange stuff was not chicken curry although it certainly does resemble it. Thanks for pointing that out. That strips in there that look like chicken is the scallop mantle. It's some sort of muscle that surrounds the big scallop muscle. My understanding is that part is thrown away on the mainland. The raw scallop is pretty soft and the mantle provides a pleasant contrasting chewiness. They should not be throwing the scallop mantle away.

The pastele stew is getting to be very popular on this rock. You're not likely to find the dish anywhere but here. I'm still trying to get to an understanding as to the essence of pastele stew i.e., I order the dish whenever I see it. The best I've had is at Masa & Joyce in our little town. My research is a work in progress.
I've never seen pastele fries before. What I have seen is furikake fries. It's fries with a mayo type sauce and furikake. The kids always order it when we eat at the Fresh Catch in our little town. I think most people on the mainland would dig it.
