mofongo

Those flavors include pickles and mofongo, pork bao and jerk chicken, bodega coffee and pastrami on rye.

I got to know the Dominican mofongo; the Cuban ropa vieja, the Puerto Rican coquito, and I listened to the plenas, the son, the salsa, the merengue and the bachata, and I understood that although we have many things in common, we Latin Americans and Latinas/os have many different customs, traditions, flavors, accents and languages.

Black beans and rice, yuca, mofongo, empanadas, and Jamaican patties were the dishes that initially tore my attention away from the burgers, takeout pizza and late-night diner food that had been my default.

I drove my assortment of pan — lentil, kimchi tofu, mofongo, beef bulgogi and Cajun chicken — back to North Seattle and decided to give them a quick toast in my toaster oven.

Fields says he’ll be rolling out new pan flavors in the next week or so, but even with all the different flavors offered, his favorites are the mofongo, the kabocha squash and the Cajun chicken.
