Mandoca (or Mendonca) is the Venezuelan cuisine equivalent of a pretzel and is produced primarily in the state of Zulia. It is a ring of maize flour that is mixed with brown sugar, grated cheese years very ripe banana. All this is mixed and fried. Often eats hot with grated cheese, butter or margarine (although the latter are not recommended because ingredients that absorb oil when fried and are high in fat). It is very common in western Venezuela and common part of breakfast Maracaibo (People from Maracaibo, Zulia State), typically accompanied by coffee.

However, it is not surprising to find it as an accompaniment to meat dishes, fish or chicken, without losing its characteristic sweet touch. You should be try when you travel to Venezuela, my darling.
