Street Food U-M-M-M!!! My son did 4 yrs in the Coast Guard stationed in lovely Key West FL (talk about a working vacation!) but they went to Rosie Rose, PR on some maneuvers and he simply loved it. I am hopeful that for our honeymoon we are going to go there. I can hardly wait! Some of the PR dishes aren't my favorite, but then I do think if I cooked them they'd turn out much more to my liking. I do not care for my shrimp overcooked, and if I were to make the some of the Bakalou (spelling?) which is a codfish dish I would make it a little more moist tasting and let my fish cook until alot more tender. But you are right they do not use hot peppers like some of the other styles of cusine do, but they do season beautifully.
And church suppers OH My goodness I love them!!! But to go to one in PR with all their homecooked foods well that had to be special! My son had a friend on his Cutter that was PR and they went to his home in PR while they were in port there, and he still raves on the food this fellows Mom cooked them!
Boy now that I think about it I wish some adult in my life had of suggested me joining the Coast Guard when I was a kid, I would have stayed in until retirement!!! And I would have requested Maine and Key West coasts to be stationed on, I love Bar Harbor!!! Lobster.......!!
And at both locations too!!!
