      I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Traditional Arepas are a culinary delight on their own, they dont need any fancy additions. The authentic flavors and textures speak for themselves. But hey, to each their own taste buds!

      No, peanut butter on arepas is sacrilege! Traditional arepas are perfect as they are. Adding peanut butter would ruin the authentic taste. Stick to the classics and leave the experiments for something else.
