Answer 1

Se ve sápido, Kevin. I'm still translating what you said, though. haha

Since arriving in Venezuela, I've grown to appreciate those ingredients a lot more. The chicken seems to taste better here than in the States.

Also, that's the first time I've seen the verb "acabar." adds it to the list¨

Where are you in VZ? I lived in Caracas back in '75-'77. Times have changed there. - KevinB, Jan 28, 2011

Oh, now I see - you're in Caracas, too. I attended Colegio Internacional de Caracas when I was there, in Las Minas. - KevinB, Jan 28, 2011

I think it tastes better because it tends to have less antibiotics and nasty stuff added. Healthier, YUM! - LuisaGomezBartle, Jan 28, 2011

Yup, I live in a little place called Los Chaguaramos. How did you like it here? - LiveUnsheathed, Jan 31, 2011

I was intrigue by your photo and your recommendation... So I looked up a recipe...

If anyone is interested in cooking there, this looks to be a good one... Saltado de Pollo

Good recipe, thanks! - Brynleigh, Jan 28, 2011

Answer 3

Apparently, except in Peru and Venezuela, the word is "salteado", from the verb "saltear". Curiously, "saltar" doesn't seem to be used with the same meaning.

I'll definitely try that dish if I get the chance, though.

That makes more sense. - KevinB, Jan 28, 2011
