Chef Gaby and Victor Ramos from Casa de Lola join Blacktinidad for a holiday food tasting rooted in Afro-Caribbean and Latino traditions. From pasteles, plantains, and native root vegetables to slow-roasted holiday dishes, coquito, and flan, the crew dives into the flavors that define Christmas across the Caribbean.
Things get spicy when the hosts ask the real question: is putting ketchup on pasteles acceptable — or disrespectful? A celebration of culture, food, and the traditions we only bring out during the holidays
Blacktinidad is a LatiNation original series focused on Afro-Latino identity, culture, and conversations that live at the intersection of community, honesty, and humor.
