Nothing like some mofongo or mallorcas to warm the soul.
Growing up as a Puerto Rican means growing up with phenomenal food. There are so many dishes and desserts that not only fill the belly, but fill the soul too.
For me, there were 10 foods that even to this day I have to eat when I’m back visiting because it’s tied to my youth and the time I spent living on the Island. There’s a comfort I get when eating these things, so I’m going to share them with you today as I try not to salivate too much when writing all of this.
