Thanks for the reply, they are quite tasty and filling.
I get the impression that Panamanians speak a very different kind of Spanish, they have a hard time understanding me but I can talk with Mexicans, Columbians & Venezuelans easy. Its hard to get specific words from them, Like if it's a shell fish they only say "concha" no matter if its a scallop,clam, oyster etc. A very uncomplicated people, super easy going and friendly.
