Damn, that does look tasty!

Deep fried is the best, pan fried, pretty okay.  I wonder how they would come out in one of them new fangled air fryers.

Okay....I ran right out to Acme and bought a bunch of Goya stuff!

I got boxes of both chicken and the beef empanadas and a box of beef taquitos.  I deep fried the taquitos per the instructions and they were pretty good!  I deep fried both types of empanadas and quickly realized that was a mistake!  They are precooked and require about 45 seconds in the microwave. DO NOT DEEP FRY! The outer shell gets burned right away and the insides are still frozen!

Not nearly as much stuffing as the picture shows!  That's my review!:)

I don’t care for trump, but GOYA has donated millions of dollars worth of food during many different times of need, including food banks throughout the US as well as to Puerto Rico when hurricane Maria devastated the country. 

Goya is a great company!  They donated over 1.25 million pounds of food and water to be sent to Puerto Rico and Houston after hurricane Maria.  My National Guard unit has C-130s and we helped fly plane loads of their product out to both locations.

Your oil was too hot.  If you don't have one, look into candy thermometers.  That's what I use to regulate temp when deep frying.  I usually keep the oil around 325-350 depending on what I'm frying.  You are not making french fries, dial it down a few notches and I bet they come out way better.

They have plantains that are good too. We eat them. I will be buying more to support them.

Have you tried yuca ? A guy at work told about it. I’m still not sure what to think of yuca.

Yucas awesome, it's like a sweeter more flavorful potato. Yuka fries with some chipotle mayo and a squeeze of lime is all you need.

Post up a recipe.

Easiest way to cook it is to roast it, cut similar size pieces about 3/4 an inch , roast at 425 until tender. For my favorite chipotle mayo roast /grill some a handful of scallions, a vidalia onion, add a nice squeeze of lime juice , then blend it all with a can of chipotles (goya brand). Mix it with some mayo to your level of desired spicyness and drizzle it on. If you're really feelihg your hispanic roots, mix in some chile powder with tomato sauce and drizzle that on top as well for a lazy mans papas bravas.

I love Goya products, and have several of them as staples in my household. 
 

I have never looked into their politics...and I didn’t care (until now). They produce high quality products at a fair price.
 

There are several products they make that are on my ‘gotta try’ list, and I think this is the excuse to accelerate those plans.

 It's that I'm just so damn SICK AND TIRED of this cancel culture - this abhorrent, evil attempt to silence and destroy people for "wrong think" - that I want to fight against it any way that I can. 

Cancel culture is the latest flavor of hypocrisy for tolerant liberals. It’s no longer enough to agree to disagree. Anyone who thinks differently must be destroyed. Companies closed, people put out of work, families made to starve. 
 

They are ardently begging for war.

Shelves were almost empty of Goya products in the local Walmart. 

Not sure if the whiners are causing Walmart to pull Goya, or its the backlash of another insane boycott.  I was able to snag this, tho:

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
