Hello dear readers!

Here I am once again participating in the weekly @steemitblog writing challenge, I decided to participate as much challenge as possible in order to support this recovery initiative of the Steem platform, if Steem is successful, everyone here is successful, that is my thought.

The theme for this week’s Weekly Writing Challenge is…

My Favorite Meal

This week's challenge is something really simple, so I invite you to participate in it, and with this invitation we get into it.

My Favorite Meal.

Venezuela is a land where many cultures converge, that is why it is often called as a multicultural state, this is also evident in the variety of exquisite dishes that we Venezuelans taste (Today with many limitations to enjoy them) but there is always one that stands out at our table for different reasons.

My favorite food is HALLACA, not only for its taste but for what it represents for the whole family, what happens around the preparation of this delicious dish is pure "magic", every year families from Venezuela gather to prepare HALLACAS together It does not matter if the family is distant each year we meet to plan, prepare and taste the HALLACAS.

"The Hallaca is a typical Venezuelan wrapped dish. It consists of a dough of corn flour seasoned with chicken or chicken broth and colored with onoto or achiote, filled with a stew of beef, pork and chicken or hen, to which are added olives, raisins, capers, paprika and onion, wrapped rectangularly in banana or bijao leaves, to be finally tied with wick or pita and boiled in water. "

The reasons why I choose the HALLACA are multiple besides the "Magic" that happens around its preparation as I said at the beginning, another reason why I choose it as my favorite food is because of the time we live and the black cloud that hovers over humanity today.

Venezuela is experiencing a prolonged period of a crisis that we do not know when it will end, and that with the arrival of the pandemic many think that it will become more acute.

I am optimistic, I have faith that when all this ends for my country, the HALLACA, its elaboration and tasting at everyone's tables and particularly at that of my family, will return with more meaning and a more emotional charge than that of other times.
