I am fairly sure that if I had to avoid seafood, I could live on carimañolas. They are very similar to the steamed version of potsticker dumpling that one finds in Chinese-American restaurants, with a yucca-based dough instead of wheat. They are silly tasty and amazing for breakfast. Arepas, which I think are originally Ecuadorean (could be wrong!) are small, thick, pillowy pancakes made from masa (corn) meal and layered with queso blanco and served piping hot. Eat them immediately with lime and hot sauce!! Fantastico!
