Due to its location in the world, its diversity of industrial resources and the cultural diversity of the Venezuelan people, Venezuelan cuisine often varies greatly from one region to another. Its cuisine, traditional as well as modern, is influenced by indigenous peoples and its European ancestry〔Kohnstamm, Thomas; Kohn, Beth. ("Venezuela." ) Lonely Planet. Accessed October 2011.〕 (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French), and is also influenced by African and Native American traditions. Food staples include corn, rice, plantain, yams, beans and several meats.〔 Potatoes, tomatoes, onions, eggplants, squashes and zucchini are also common sides in the Venezuelan diet. ==Main dishes== * ''Arepa'' * ''Asado negro'' * ''Bistec a caballo'' * ''Bollo pelón'' * ''Cachapa'' – maize pancake * ''Cachitos'' – de jamón, similar to French croissants * ''Caraotas negras'' (black beans) * ''Chicharrón'' * ''Chivo en coco'' – a generous serving of shredded goat cooked in coconut milk, topped with mofongo (fried, mashed green bananas) * ''Chupe Andino'' * ''Corbullón de mero'' * ''Empanada'' * ''Pastelito'' * ''Ensalada de pollo'' – chicken salad * ''Lengua de Res'' – beef tongue "a la vinagretta" (in a vinaigrette) * ''Mandoca'' * ''Mondongo'' (tripe) * ''Ñoquis'' – potato pasta, more prominent in the Central region * ''Hallaca'' – typical Christmas dish * ''Hervido de gallina'' – hen soup * ''Pabellón criollo'' – ''Creole pavilion'', the national dish * ''Pastel de pollo'' – chicken pot pie * ''Pasticho'' – the Venezuelan version of lasagna; from the Italian ''pasticcio''. * ''Patacones'' * ''Perico'' * ''Pescado sudado'' – steamed fish * ''Pisca Andina'' – soup commonly served in the Andes * ''Pisillo de chigüire'' * ''Polenta'' – it is also known as "Funche" in some areas of the country. * ''Sancocho de pescado'' * ''Sopa de rabo'' * ''Torta de plátano'' – cake made with plantains File:Pastitsio.jpg|Pasticcio File:Hallaca.jpg|Hallacas typically have a mixture of beef, pork, chicken, capers, raisins, and olives wrapped in maize (cornmeal dough), bound with string within plantain leaves, and boiled or steamed afterwards 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Venezuelan cuisine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
