  • Hello. Thank you for taking a look at my photo. Yes. I already started eating the Hallaca. By December I will be fat. Hahaha. Fortunately, I will be in Russia and by host friends are Raw people. 

    Well. The Hallaca is wrapped with Palm leaves. You can also spell Hallaca with "y": Hayaca. This is our favorite Xmas dish  and it is a very important meal for us. 2385668181?profile=original

  • Oriani, I think  the Hallaca is very delicious....it's a typical meal for Xmas but you can't help eating it now,  some  weeks before the holiday. Happy Eating!
