Describe comida típica en Inglés

In México we have a lot of traditional foods! One of my favourites it’s Mole Poblano! It’s commonly made with chicken and a bunch of chilis and seeds, but it’s the chocolate or cacao what gives it the special taste!

I’m from Caracas, Vzla. We have a lot of traditional foods! Some of my favourites are:

• Pabellon: it’s made with shredded meat, black beans, fry platain, rice and as personal option, you can add avocado.
  

  

• Cachapa: it’s a mix of corn, milk, eggs, a bit of sugar, some butter, salt to your liking and cormeal. Once is ready, you can fill the cachapa with telita or guayanes cheese (it’s a traditional venezuelan cheese; its texture is soft and juicy), a little bit of butter. You can also fill it with shredded meat/pork/chicken or jam. It’s really delicious.
  

  

-** Arepa**: the queen. It’s made with white corn flour and you can fill it with almost any ingredient, for example:

• Chicha: this is a mixture made of rice or pasta (preferably) with milk, sugar, cinnamon, condensed milk, vanilla, water and ice cubes. It makes my mouth watering…
  
  

There are many delicious traditional foods in Venezuela but these are my top 4.
