Arepa

Arepas are a type of cornbread made from ground corn dough or precooked corn flour that can be used in a variety of ways. Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic are among the countries that consume it. Arepas are consumed at any time of day in Venezuela, across the country, and by people of all socioeconomic classes.

From beans, cheese, and avocado to shredded beef and onions, the golden disks with a crispy, browned crust are commonly stuffed with a variety of ingredients, and the combinations are seemingly endless. Arepas are traditionally served with a cup of strong coffee and hot dipping chocolate as part of a Venezuelan breakfast.

They are known as the viuda because they are not filled with anything for breakfast (widow). The word erepa is derived from the word arepa.
