This is one hundred percent Chilean. It is a sort of caramel that can be found everywhere in Chile. Actually, most pastry making in my country has manjar in it. The truth is that one can eat manjar anytime during the day and in many different ways: with bread, cheese, cookies, and my favorite, with meringue. Some of my foreign friends love it, some others hate it, so I guess you must give it a try and judge.

Instant Pot Ribs
Instant Pot ribs are so tender they fall off the bone. The best part is that you can cook them from start to finish in just a little over an hour.
Traditional Yorkshire Pudding
As legend has it, Yorkshire puddings were cooked in a pan of fat at the bottom of a hearth, underneath a large piece of roasting beef. The smoky heat from the fire and the drippings from the meat must've made for quite a delicious pastry. Though limited by modern ovens, in this recipe for traditional Yorkshire pudding, you can still come close to the original by using real rendered beef fat, without which you're just eating a popover.
Original Old Bay Coleslaw
This coleslaw recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago. It's very different from the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is! It's a great side dish — especially with barbecued pork.
