Almost all before had it right: Arroz con Gandules (Rice with Pidgeon beans) with Pernil Asado (Roast Pork shoulder), if you want to add dessert: a flan (custard) or better Arroz con Dulce (Rice pudding made with coconut milk, cinnamon, and other spices). |

The national dish is rice and it can be with gandules or beans. Now other national dishes that have been around for a long time are :
roasted pork on the pit-all seasoned and roasted over fire
pasteles-a mix of different tubbers and plantains filled with prepared cooked pork meat and then wrapped in platain leaves that are treated and then boiled
alcapurrias-the same as pasteles but less tubbers more plantains and green bananas shaped into like cigar style and then fried
These are the basic but rice with gandules or beans is the traditional. |

"Original Bar-B-Q" The real deal roast pork (pernil)!
(However, I no longer eat pork for personal reasons--still it was mighty tasty.)
