Went to puerto rico last summer to meet my mother and family hadn't been since 4 years old was adopted found them through dna ancestry. I experienced so many pr dishes. They were wonderful to me and feed me so much different foods I loved it. Now i always looking different you tubes on how to make things came across you tube to experience the pr life without being there. As soon as covid is over want to back. Have a big family there. Want to see them again my mother died a month ago and couldnt go to see her with all this covid.

Mary, so happy that you had the opportunity to experience PR last summer! Glad to hear that you could enjoy a bit of the island through our video. Hope you are able to make it back soon!! In the meantime, are there any dishes that you really enjoyed and would like to see us feature in the channel??

@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen well rice. Is different than mexican rice they would laugh at me when comparing dishes to mexican dishes here in ca. Some family mexican. So eat alot of mexican dishes which is more spicy. Some family didnt have hot sauce salsa was different. I was always asking for. Hot sauce. Salsa. Way different. Something they served in a big cup cant think of name. Good.

Fried food is not good for Us. Fried food and processed food can cause stomach Cancer and the mortal type of Cancerl Intestinal Cancer also cholesterol in our arteries specially when people fried in the same oil over and over again. Hot dogs and sauses frozen food and processed hams are processed food too bad for our health and can also cause Stomach and intestinal cancer. Microwaves oves and the prosessed food for microwaves oves can also cause any type of Cancers the most common is leukemia. People need to eat healthy if they want to live more and in healthy conditions. Science magazines

No jabbering, no discussions, just what is important, food. Sure, if you need to shoot interesting locations and sites, just name them and do it. Don't mix the two. I'm subscribed. Thanks!
