      Yum! Erica, did you have Sopa de Arroz con Carne Molida? This was a rice soup with ground boiled beef and ripe plantains. The cooked meat was put through a grinder and had an almost powdered texture.

      Hola Erica de españa
      My personal choice is to have plain boiled rice to go with, and act as a foil to, more highly flavoured dishes such as with curry, chilli, etc .
