A kind of
food sold by
vendors at the
county fair in
Miami. It's two thick
corn (
maize)
pancakes with a filling of
provolone, which melts together to make a sort of
grilled cheese sandwich thingy. Very good stuff. The name is Spanish, so you say it "ah-REH-pah".
A plain cheese quesadilla is similar to an arepa, only the flour tortilla used in a quesadilla is as thin as cloth, and is larger in area. The cornbread-like circles of an arepa are each about the size of five CD-ROMs in a stack.
