Hi @dmilliz
The arepa is based on corn flour, with that we create a corn dough and then the arepas are made, I know that many Venezuelans live in Jamaica who achieved huri from this country, thank God they must be much better.
It is possible that they sell bread flour there.
Since criminals and drug traffickers have been ruling in this country, many Venezuelans are scattered throughout the world.
I hope you can get a Venezuelan to prepare you a pepeada queen arepa. You're going to love it.
