ACTIVITY 1 (synchronous interaction)

In Venezuela, there is a controversy about a typical dish. You can even find memes in social media that
depict the dilemma. I am referring to black beans. The thing is that, for some people, the best recipe for black
beans must add sugar. For some other people, such a thing is against all possibility of common sense and taste. It
seems to be a matter of regional culture. That is, in some parts of the territory, sugar is a main ingredient for a dish
like Pabellón.

Please share your comments about this controversy and your own preference. What other controversy about
Venezuelan cuisine do you know? Please share it with the class as an audio message.
