📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Raspao means 'scraped,' Panama's shaved ice: vendors shave ice at push carts and pour on colorful fruit syrups and plenty of condensed milk. Topping it with powdered milk is the Panamanian way. In Panama, hot all year round, kids and adults alike enjoy it from stalls in parks and by the sea.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Panama City park, a man at a push cart shaves ice, pours on red syrup, condensed milk, and powdered milk, and hands it to a child.
