Grew up and worked in NYC for a great part of my life. Had all types of food. After the pandemic, I need to find an authentic place that makes those things. I am sure you'll find a great 'hole in the wall' type of restaurant. Some recommendations: *Mofongo- stuffed plaintain (shrimp and pork are the most common) served in a 'pilon' * Pasteles * Alcapurrias * Tostones * Bacalao (cod fish prepared in various ways: stew, rice mix, etc). * Roasted pig or pernil (baked shank). 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard of breadfruit, but never experienced it. What's it like, starchy? It fills you up quickly. Just 100 g of breadfruit (approximately ½ cup) provides 25% of the RDA for fiber, and 5–10% of the RDA for protein, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, thiamine (B1), and niacin (B3). Breadfruit also provides some carotenoids, such as β-carotene and lutein, which are not present in white rice or white potato. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wound up in some of the toughest neighborhoods, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, where I thought I'd at the very least get knifed. lol It's where I was exposed to lots of different ethnic foods which were a departure from my Italian/French background. I had my first Cuban sandwich on lower 14th street as an example. That's why it's a head scratcher that I never had pasteles. Now, I'm on a mission to taste one even if I have to make 'em myself. You people need to go down to Hells Kitchen on Ninth Ave. Not sure how it is now with everything getting closed down but that is my go to whenever someone says let's meet for dinner and wr don't know where to go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mom was the champ at making dishes with "baccala". Remember being a kid in the 60s walking past the dried up salt cod sitting in baskets in front of our Italian market. Folks just getting a pungent whiff of the stuff would have no idea how it is transformed into a delicate, mild fish. I can see my Mom soaking it for three days with the multiple changes of water. Thanks for bringing back the memory. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what else you’re doing on the taco. I like a good grilled white fish, like cod or haddock, for basic fish tacos. If you start getting into crema and unique sauces and fixings, then meatier fish like tuna and salmon can be good. I generally don’t like my fish fried on fish tacos. To each their own. I’ve had an ahi tuna street taco with a wasabi crema and teriyaki glaze, pickled onions, etc. jizzed my cargo shorts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
