It's all about the salad rule

I shared my other post with my Puerto Rican cousin and he replied with a photo of his lunch.

"Lechón frito, arroz con gandules, plátanos maduros"...and a salad?

This looks very dry. I guess you could wash it down with a few mojitos.

This looks very dry. I guess you could wash it down with a few mojitos palitos.

"Palito" is slang for an alcoholic beverage, normally a shot of liquor but not exclusively. The key being that it be strong enough to feel like you got hit with a stick (palo/palito).

Is this eaten without any sauces or would they have been added after taking the picture?

Wait, there is "sauce" at the top of the plate (very similar to the "salad"), my bad 😸

@JoMiran as a puerto rican... that's way too much salad. we treat salads as aesthetics... not for food lol
