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 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).
