thank you very much alright, first let's try these Arepas, okay we've got them
this is pulled pork, pulled pork Arepas, and they've got it in this a reddish color
pink colored corn tortilla and the coloring is natural it's made from
beetroot, so that's really good no artificial coloring in here, and this is
the the pulled beef Ariba in an orange corn tortilla and that's colored with
carrots, look at the beef Wow that's the plantain, that's the planting
the lady fried, okay here's the chicken chicken and avocado, so the avocado looks
good and there's are bits of strips of chicken look at that that's a bit of
chicken here look at that chunk of chicken, and this and this is the the
vegetarian one it's got black beans and feta cheese in there and it's in a green
corn tortilla and this colored with a kale and spinach. Try bit of the
plantain, I don't remember the last time I tried plantain,
hmm the textures a bit like an unripe banana,
but it's reasonably sweet bit sweet and sourish and the caramelized bits are
quite nice. all right we better move on there's lots of Arepas to try let's try. Some
of that pulled pork, have a look at it
that's pulled pork Arripa, let's give it a go
mmm... this is Pork and the Pork's marinated really well, I can taste a lot of flavors
going on. Next I'm gonna try the Chicken and Avocado, chicken and avocado Arepa,
I'll give it a bite,
mmm.. chicken the avocado is really nice tastes really nice and light and fresh, I
think I taste a bit of lime in there as well. This is really good!
I love the avocado on there as well, really really good.
The crocodile's from Queensland look, Wow almost looks just like chicken I didn't
know what they marinate it in but looks good.
Wow look at the meat there, it feels nice and soft and juicy not too dry and
not too tough. Okay, I can't wait to try it and they've given
it some some of this green I think that's Salsa Verde. All right,
it's time to give their crocodile try, now it's cooled down a bit from the
grill, I'm just try it as it is first.
The marinate is really good and the meat, now everyone thinks everything else
tastes like chicken, but this Crocodile meat is a bit different, I think it's got
way more texture than a chicken and apart from the nice marinade they've got
it in I think it's a really got a really nice salty flavor to it,
not really salty, not too salty sort of a taste of seawater salty.
I'm gonna try it with some of the salsa verde.
That sauce is pretty good as well I think that sauce has got
coriander, bit of lime, parsley it's sort of like a pesto sauce. This is not bad,
actually I'm liking crocodile meat it's the first time I'm trying it and I don't
mind it at all. mmm... as you can see the meat is quite chewy but it's not tough
at all it's actually quite tende The crocodile doesn't have any gamy
smell or any weird smell to it, it's quite nice. All right there you go
