No te preocupes.

Brasilenos can you elaborate ?? . Now, what do you consider the base of afro american dish, and the relation you seemed to have made in particulary to Dominican's food. Enlight us on what draw you, to conclude, that dominican's foods are neither healthy. In closing turn off your caps lock, it sounds like you are screaming at the public


I've been to the D.R. 100s of times, lived there for 2 yrs. The food is not unigue. Nothning special about it. Some of it is prepared unsanitized and there is no telling if it is safe food. I see recently kiiled animals hanging from outside posts all the time in the D.R. with flies and other insects flying around it.

These images give the history of the food a bad name. Thats why they do'nt get the same respect. How long has it been since someone you so called dominicans actualy been to the dominican republic?



Mr Brazil fortunately the DR has two very different kinds of worlds. One of them is the place where you can buy street food with flies and the other world is a very sanitary, clean and respectable place, with high quality food establishments which caters to a different class of people. Apparently Mr Brazil I see very well where you have spent most of your time. I am amaze to see that you are still alive and have not died of botulism after those 100's of trips you have made to the DR. What is the matter you can't afford a meal at Hotel Lina or at Vesuvio? I guess Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, international singer Julio Iglesias, and famous designer Oscar de La Renta all permanent residents of the DR just love their meals with flies. These famous and well known personalities have all previously lived in France, the mecca of Culinary Arts, but they prefer and developed a taste for fresh Dominican flies. The natural flavors reminds them of wild hickory nuts. You should import them to Brazil and you might make millions. Oh, I am sorry, Brazil also has street vendors with their very own Brazilian flies, particularly in the outer states which also sell a lot of their foods with flies. Bahia cooking with flies is one of my favorites. Oh I forgot, you guys are so civilized, that the guys in the Amazon jungle, you know the ones with the loin clothes and the females with out a shirt that run around in the jungle, their flies are very clean and natural, fresh wild life. Brazilian flies are so tasty with Brazilian monkey meat. Oh too bad we don't have stone age people in the DR. Oh well, but we have Haitians, that is pretty close isn't that true Mr Brazil? Oh how about the Brazilian Favela, they have plenty of flies living there, didn't you not know that Mr Brazil? more kids died in the Favelas by gun fire then pakistan,irak and afghanistan and more then Dominicans have died from food poisoning. Maybe Mr Brazil you need to go back a 100 more times to the DR, but this time try to go to the other Dominican Republic, the one without flies and insects. That is if you can afford it. But you know what, after trying Dominican food with flies and insects, many that have attempted to go back to clean, insect free, regular food, have said: "Once you try that, you never come back. "

I NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FOOD, I ONLY PROVIDED REASONS WHY "Dominican food does'nt get the same recognition as Cuban food in the U.S."? AND THE COMPLAINS I HEAR FROM MY FRIENDS. I MADE OVER $125,000 last year, and I'm just 32 yrs. old . I can afford to visit, eat, and live anywhere in the Dominican Republic.

Finally, Brasil is one of the biggest tourist areas in the World. Dominican Republic does'nt even come close. I'm half American, so any argument about tourist has to include the U.S. as well. but, I need not go there, thousands of Dominicans risk their lives every year to come here. All said, all the crap about Brasil, half our women are'nt leaving the country for other men, they want real men, not "girlie men". And certainly no American female are on the internet searching for Dominican men, but there are a host of websites where Dominican women are looking for Americans. I know, I use to own one myself, got tired of the easy pu_ _ _.... well.... if you'e dominican you know.

Anyway, I love Dominican food, actually having a bite to eat as I write here. I also love Dominican women, had a bite of that a few hours ago. Its not the food or the women I hate, its the lazy ass men I have a problem with, and of course one "old hag" holding a sword. I think she may be Maribel4 in drag, but what the heck.

I NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FOOD, I ONLY WANTED TO TROLL ON "Dominican food . How many of you can say you've made OVER $125,000 last year while dressed in the finest womens' wear? I DID!! And I'm just 32 yrs. old . I can afford to visit, eat, and live anywhere in the Dominican Republic cuz I'm obsessed with DR, it's people, and anything that has to do with it!!!

Finally, Brasil is a tourist area, just like Dominican Republic.. I'm full of B.S. so any argument about tourist has to include the U.S. as well. but, I need not go there, thousands of Brazilians risk their lives every year to come here. All said, all the crap about Brasil, half our women are usually men and the rest are "girlie men". And certainly no American female are on the internet searching for Dominican men, but there are a host of websites where Brazilian women are looking for Americans. I know, I use to own one myself, got tired of the easy pu_ _ _.... well.... if you'e Brazilian you know.

Anyway, I love Dominican men, actually I'm being pounded as I write here. I also love to imitate Dominican women, wish I was one. Its not the food or the women I hate, its the men I have a problem with cuz they pay me no mind, I can't fool'em no matter how drunk they get!! and of course I like being in drag, but what the heck.

Some people have a big ego ad infinitum, which add very little to sustain their capacity for rational and intelligent thought, yet they feel compelled to indulge themselves into petty quarrel with other posters that are clearly out of their leagues. These cantankerous individuals with no ethical concept would prefer to lower the discourse of the forum in an attempt to appear intelligent.

RE: Why doesn't Dominican food get the same recognition as Cuban Food in the U.S.?
Anything Cuban gets romanticized. Non-Hispanics see it as true "latin". Nothing carries a more Latin "feel" to non-Hispanics than Cuban. Many assume that a cigars, rum, music, food is superior if it carries a Cuban label... I personally do not think any of it is superior to what is produced in the DR though it has its merits.

Americans knew who Cubans were way before they could find DR on the map. There way more history and interchange, especially during Batista's Cuba. Before Hispanics came to be seen as ghetto-dwelling immigrants, your average white American was impressed with Cubans. Heck, everyone knows that 50s sitcom of a bi-racial Cuban/White - I don't think there was anything close to that for nearly 25 years when there was a sitcom of a white couple that adopted black kids.

Cubans represented a classy, proud Latin culture that was romanticized by Americans way before everyone else established an identity here. The effect has yet to wear off.
